Service
Enhanced Due Diligence
An expanded, evidence-based review for higher-value, higher-risk or more complex commercial relationships where a standard business verification may not provide sufficient depth. The review examines relevant corporate relationships, ownership, material claims and available risk information to provide a more detailed understanding of the counterparty.
May include
- Corporate identity, ownership and management review
- Beneficial ownership information, where available
- Related entities and relevant corporate relationships
- Expanded adverse-information research
- Litigation and regulatory-information research, where relevant, legally appropriate and information is available
- Sanctions and watchlist screening, where relevant, legally appropriate and information is available
- Verification of material commercial claims
- Digital and corporate-history review
- Identification of material inconsistencies and verification gaps
- Expanded evidence and source register
- Detailed findings report
Standard scope
Enhanced Due Diligence is individually scoped according to the nature of the counterparty, jurisdiction, proposed relationship and identified risk factors. A standard engagement generally focuses on one principal business or commercial counterparty, with relevant related entities or individuals reviewed only to the extent necessary to understand material ownership, control, commercial relationships or identified risks.
The service is based on lawfully accessible information and information legitimately provided for the engagement. It does not constitute a financial audit, forensic accounting engagement, legal opinion, regulated investigation, guarantee of sanctions clearance, or prediction of future conduct. The availability and depth of information may vary significantly by jurisdiction and source.
