Conducting business across borders is an inherently different and potentially risky playing field. In light of today’s toughened regulatory stance towards foreign-based corruption, due diligence investigations are increasingly necessary for cross-jurisdictional relations. As a truly international due diligence provider, we have a proven track record in conducting due diligence and integrity analysis in over 150 countries and territories across the globe. Emerging markets
Recognising the risk and concern towards corrupt practices in the developing world, we hold a unique market position for emerging markets, including China, Southeast Asia, India, Pakistan, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, Russia and Eastern Europe.
Russia has long been perceived as rampant in corruption and state bureaucracy, especially as it is characterised by a high percentage of state employees and federal officials across all sectors. When entering into business relations with Russian entities, our clients express concerns as they recognise the need or tendency to establish relationships with government entities or state officials. We undertake a considerable portion of due diligence requests into Russian companies, and have often uncovered that key principals of subject companies are listed as Politically Exposed Persons. Reputational enquiries and media investigations are conducted on the background and integrity of these individuals, which enables our clients to harness a thorough profile on such persons, with potential risks identified and highlighted.
Representative country: China
We pride in a committed China team, dedicated towards providing expertise for global companies who wish to conduct business in one of the world’s fastest-growing economies which is marked by a young but evolving stance in anti-corruption regulations. Based in the hub of the nation, our differentiators lie in our intimate understanding of the Chinese language and corporate culture, Chinese regulations, behaviours of Chinese authorities, and the risks relevant to doing business in China. Moreover, we have a depth of resources dedicated to China research, and maintain a comprehensive network of associates and professionals throughout the nation.
Mature Markets
Corruption is not limited to developing nations, as incidents of fraud and corrupt behaviour afflict even the most modern economies. Our work covers an array of mature markets such as the United States, South Korea, Western Europe, Australia, Japan, Singapore and Canada.
Historically, the elaborate relationships between political and business elites in Italy, and the customary lack of efficiency and transparency among government systems has resulted in corrupt practices, particularly in the government health sector. Our due diligence investigations into Italian medical companies have uncovered the use of personal connections and sensitive payment allegations involving public tenders for government health projects. Based on our findings, several clients have decided to reconsider their business proposals with Italian partners.
