Due Diligence
Due diligence is a valuable risk management tool used for checking out buyers, businesses, employees or clients to allow parties in a transaction to make good decisions and avoid surprises. An effective due diligence investigation ensures that buyers get what they pay for.
ChacksRisks streamlines the process by anticipating what information clients will ask for and assemble it in one package. This can include key documents, reports and records relating to the business being bought or persons being hired. We tailor the scope of due diligence to the type of transaction, any perceived risks, and the party’s needs and have carried out many such successful investigations in Europe, the Americans, the Middle East and Asia.
Discreet Checks
Checking out prospective employees and contractors requires extreme discretion, tact and accuracy, skills which ChecksRisks has honed over many years and in many countries.
We verify three references per individual and for professional positions, we verify that the person has the credentials listed on their resume and check degrees, certifications, and experience. We perform all background checks and with the target’s permission, carry out a credit check if the position involves access to financial data.
We deliver a complete story of the target company or person. This story includes information on the financial, commercial, operational, and legal position of the target.
Dispute mediation
Parties to a dispute may initiate mediation voluntarily to avoid seeking recourse at court. Mediation also may be ordered by a court or prescribed by law. In any case, the parties will require the assistance of a neutral and qualified third party, a mediator. ChecksRisks provides mediators to actively assist disputing parties to reach an agreement. We exercise the complete confidentiality which binds all parties participating in a mediation process. Mediation is usually faster and more cost-effective than court proceedings and it allows parties to explore more creative solutions to resolve a problem than would be available in the court system. ChecksRisks has experience providing mediation in civil, commercial, labour, financial and consumer disputes.
Information Security
Conducting an internal investigation can be a difficult task. An investigation into employee wrongdoing can be costly, disruptive and time-consuming, and can also lead to a variety of legal problems and other unexpected complications if it is not conducted with the utmost care and confidentiality. However, a well-run internal investigation can enhance a company’s overall well-being and can help detect the source of lost funds, identify responsible parties and recover losses. It can also provide a defence to legal charges by terminated or disgruntled employees. An internal investigation will signal to other employees that the company will not tolerate fraud.
