Pre-Investment Due Diligence
Acquiring parties become responsible for past violations of acquired entities, making it essential to develop a detailed understanding of such entities and any associated corruption history.
- Comprehensive qualitative risk services for investors placing funds in opaque markets
- Wide-ranging review of management and shareholder reputation focusing on bribery and corruption issues
- Assessment of ethical standards in past business transactions and identification of undisclosed government relationships
Local Partner and Agent Vetting
Companies are responsible for violations committed by their local affiliates, and therefore need to understand their records on corruption before entering a partnership.
- Risk assessments based on industry, country, and operating factors
- Discreet inquiries and identification of undisclosed government or other relationships via local sources
- Analysis of partners' competence and ability to conduct business without bribery
Investigation of Bribery Allegations
When allegations of bribery surface, it is important to fully understand the history and details quickly and accurately.
- Efficient and discreet collection of non-public information
- Often lower-cost and more effective methodology than relying only on forensic accounting
- Emphasis on context of problematic transactions rather than purely numerical evidence
