What may be relevant?

  • The party’s identity and represented business activity.
  • Business connections and company involvement.
  • Financial or business background relevant to the engagement.
  • Gaps or questions arising from discussions and documents.

Not every check covers every topic. Scope and access to information depend on the case and available sources.

What should you prepare?

Describe the engagement, its current stage and the decision you need to make. Prepare the names and details already known to you and a short list of questions the check should help answer.

How should findings be understood?

Partial information or an absence of findings is not automatic confirmation of a person’s or company’s reliability. Understand what was checked, the basis of the information and what remains unknown, and consider it alongside other factors.
