Enhanced Due Diligence
Engaging in a business relationship with an organization or individual without a full understanding of their business dealings, past or present, can pose significant risks, including both regulatory and reputational risk for partial/non-compliance. Organizations are moving from traditional due diligence, which is focused more on data gathering, to insights-driven due diligence that can identify key issues relating to sanction exposure, bribery and corruption, tax abuse, money laundering, financial crimes and in some cases non-financial crimes (e.g. ESG, corporate governance, etc).
Acuity Knowledge Partners (Acuity) leverages its two decades of research and analytics pedigree to deliver a customized Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) reports that address your specific needs towards managing third-party risks. Our team of EDD experts uses proprietary due diligence research methodology EPIC (Extract-Populate-Investigate-Calculate Risk) to provide insightful due diligence reports. These reports not only let the client know about the risks associated with the researched organization / individual but also recommend detailed next steps for mitigation / remediation.
