Corporate Intelligence

Who are you doing business with? Are they the right organisations or individuals for you to be doing business with? 

Corporate Intelligence is broadly defined as the focused gathering and analysis of information regarding pre-transaction or corporate investigation that is used to help organizations make better decisions in consideration of risk factors. Having robust research techniques and methods for gathering information that are effective, transparent and legal are critical to decide if organizations or individuals who you are doing business with are the right organizations or individuals for you to be doing business with. Information need for analysis can be gathered from different sources such as company’s records, public records, open sources, proprietary databases, interviews, and conversations with experts.

Assessing the integrity and reputation of a company or an individual is important before making any major decision as the lack of which may result in damaging consequences. As an example, due diligence obligations on third parties have recently expanded in the wake of various laws such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the UK Bribery Act. Under most of these laws, corporate criminal liability can be triggered when a bribe is paid by or through third parties including agents, consultants, suppliers, distributors, joint-venture partners, or any individual or entity that has some form of business relationship with the company.
