Due Diligence
In addition to industry standard research -- looking for evidence of litigiousness and criminal and regulatory actions, for instance -- we look for undisclosed corporate affiliations, hidden liabilities, conflicts of interest, material misstatements and omissions, and potential exposure to violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act.
