Our Due Diligence Products


All reports, regardless of level, are scrutinised by our analyst team to identify and summarise any compliance risks or red flags identified in the research. This analysis is featured prominently at the beginning of all reports, allowing the reader to quickly inform herself of potential compliance issues without having to wade through pages of less relevant information.
 

Enhanced

Enhanced is a bespoke level of investigation utilised when standard case parameters are not sufficient to address the specific requirements of an investigation; these can be stand-alone or a follow-on to a standard level investigation. The exact parameters of each enhanced case vary depending on the services required. Each case is a bespoke effort tailored by our investigations team to address the client’s needs and case specifics. Usually, enhanced cases require extensive on-the-ground enquiries in one or multiple countries, involving a variety of skill sets and data sources. Investigators, attorneys, researchers, regulatory and licensing experts and investigative journalists will often play roles in developing these cases.

Enhanced cases previously undertaken by The Red Flag Group have varied from tracking the assets of suspected fraudsters internationally; to tracing the hidden government ties of acquisition targets in the mining industry; to proving allegations of bribery and corruption; to uncovering large-scale collusion and price fixing syndicates affecting our client’s operations abroad.
High

High is the highest standard level of investigation, providing the most complete package of information on the subject company including full company details, complete watchlist profiling, full media profiling on the subject company and its key personnel and shareholders, bankruptcy screening, comprehensive litigation checks, in-country reputational enquiries, and site visits where necessary. These in-country checks are crucial to developing an understanding of the true nature of the subject company’s operations, and particularly their reputation or character in a market. The high level is generally best utilised in high-risk countries and for high-risk relationships. High cases are often requested by our clients for new parties with whom they have not dealt in the past.


Medium

Medium refers to a moderate level of investigation. Medium cases are often requested by our clients for low- to medium-risk third parties in relatively stable markets with a low to medium perception of corruption. It provides a solid level of profiling on the subject company and covers a more extensive media and internet profile including its key company personnel; the media also focuses on both negative media events as well as general media events. The medium level also includes financial and credit rating information; basic bankruptcy checks; as well as basic litigation checks.


Low

Low is our basic level of due diligence. It is best used with low-risk entities or for annual renewal due diligence where only basic company details need to be confirmed. The low level provides basic company details, English-language media profiling and full watchlist profiling, but does not delve as deeply into the media, financial, credit rating, bankruptcy and litigation details of the subject company; neither does it address site visits, reputational enquiries nor reference verification.


Add-on services

We offer a series of add-on services to enhance the due diligence performed for our standard high and medium reports. These include site visits to confirm the subject company’s existence, reverse business interest and directorship checks on the subject company’s key personnel, compliance policy reviews, face-to-face interviews and compliance audits, among various other investigative services.
