Investigative Due Diligence

Investigative Due Diligence

Do you want to verify that a potential business partner or supplier meets your standards of integrity and reputation? Are you looking for more transparency in your supply chains?

In a constantly changing market, companies encounter new opportunities, but also new risks. Regulatory requirements for companies are increasing while corporate structures and distribution channels are growing more and more complex. To identify critical relationships and minimise risks in different areas, we offer customised investigative due diligence (IDD).

We offer you support in the following areas:

Background checks when entering into contractual relationships
Identifying and monitoring of third-party risks including negative media reports, relationships with politically exposed persons (PEPs), etc.
Verification of information provided by (potential) business partners, identification of beneficial owners
Review and monitoring of sanctions and other restrictive measures
Open-source intelligence (OSINT) in the areas of AML/KYC/sanctions

BDO offers global coverage and supports you with investigative research based on publicly available information and subscription-based databases. Our specialists use the latest technologies in the OSINT field and call on our international network of experts for targeted research worldwide. It means we can identify legal and reputational risks, conflicts of interest and possible loopholes for white-collar crimes, such as fraud, at an early stage.
