Since leaving government service, we have offered
a wide variety of investigative services to banks and
financial institutions. Due diligence in acquisitions
and mergers, know your customer (KYC) compliance programs,
loan origination background investigations, and asset
recovery are our prime practice areas.
With increasing scrutiny on financial institutions
by governments around the world, it is more important
that ever to know your customer. Having our experts
provide timely facts regarding the business and personal
background/experience of potential customers is indispensable
in today’s high risk environment.
Our group has more than three decades of experience
tracing stolen funds and investigating white collar
crime around the world. We are often called upon to
locate and seize assets exparte on behalf of banks,
governments and financial organizations.
Fees for due diligence and asset related services
may vary and are quoted on a case-by-case basis, depending
on the nature of the potential transaction, location
of subjects of investigation and known history. In
matters of potential borrower due diligence, we recommend
personal contact interviews at the beginning of the
investigation. It is normal that the borrower pay for
all or part of the investigation as a loan origination
fee.
