02 Screening & due diligence
Corporate & Financial Risk Intelligence
Your risk runs through everyone you transact with. Most organisations assess it once, at onboarding, and never again.
Start a pilotCounterparty risk is not static. Ownership changes, regulatory action lands, financial position deteriorates, and a supplier who was sound at contract becomes a liability by year three. Meanwhile the obligation to evidence that you assessed the relationship sits with you, not with them.
We assess partners, vendors and investors for financial irregularity, hidden control, regulatory action and reputational contamination — at onboarding and on review — and we report in a format your compliance function can file without rewriting.

- Change alerting on the relationships that matter most.
- Compliance-ready output
- Structured, sourced and dated for regulatory and audit use.
02 Method
How it runs.
- 01
Prioritise
Not every supplier warrants the same depth. We rank by exposure before we spend your budget.
- 02
Assess
Filings, ownership, enforcement, litigation and adverse media across relevant jurisdictions.
- 03
Report
A written assessment per counterparty, with a portfolio-level summary.
- 04
Monitor
Where agreed, material change is alerted rather than waiting for annual review.
04 Common questions
Can you assess a portfolio rather than one counterparty?
Yes. For supply-chain work we normally triage the portfolio first — ranking by spend, access and jurisdiction — then apply depth where it is justified. Assessing 400 suppliers identically wastes most of the budget.
Will the report satisfy our auditors?
It is written for that purpose: structured, sourced, dated, and explicit about the limits of the search. We cannot speak for a particular auditor’s expectations, so we are happy to review the format with them before the first engagement.
Do you monitor counterparties continuously?
Where agreed. Continuous monitoring makes sense for a small number of materially significant relationships; for the long tail, periodic review is usually the proportionate answer.
Tell us what you would want watched. We will scope a pilot on it, in writing, before anything is agreed.
