Our team of international operatives has a deep understanding of the laws, cultures, and systems of each country in which we operate, allowing us to approach each investigation with the necessary knowledge and sensitivity. Prior to commencement, we work with our clients to determine a specific methodology that meets their unique needs and requirements.

Our thorough reports often include verification of corporate registration information, confirmation of the company ownership structure and identification of any business affiliations, verification of the principal's status and reputation, media searches, legal filings, identification of regulatory issues and government affiliations, accreditation and certifications, references, and site visits.

In addition to providing valuable insights and information to our clients, our reports can also be tailored to meet the specific requirements of local legislation, including the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the UK Bribery Act of 2010. We are committed to helping our clients navigate the complexities of international business with confidence and success.

VETTING & PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING

Vetting

As a professional screening and investigative firm, we understand the importance of safeguarding against the risk posed by new employees, particularly in cases where they will have access to sensitive information or their actions could potentially cause embarrassment to the organization. To mitigate this risk, we offer a wide range of screening services that are tailored to the specific needs of our clients.

Our global reach allows us to conduct checks in multiple jurisdictions, providing a comprehensive view of an individual's background and qualifications. Our in-depth investigations typically include verification of personal details, qualifications, employment history and references, business affiliations including directorships and shareholdings, government affiliations, legal filings, credit checks (where consent is provided), and any other relevant information, including media searches.

We take the sensitivity and confidentiality of this information very seriously and are committed to protecting the privacy of the individuals being screened. Our thorough and professional approach ensures that our clients can make informed decisions with confidence when hiring new employees.
