Business Intelligence

Press stories of high-profile fraud, corruption or bribery cases often involve executives or businesses who seemed “respectable”, but turned out not to be. Many businesses therefore, are seeking business intelligence when making important decisions (e.g. hiring a director or starting a joint venture) which can prevent costly mistakes. Business intelligence expertise is useful with challenges such as:

• Due diligence on acquisitions and joint ventures
• Locating individuals and tracing undisclosed assets, relationships and business interests
• Compliance with sanctions, anti corruption and anti terrorism laws
• Hostile takeovers, to learn more about the entities and individuals
• Complex data analysis and visualization for client presentation or court purposes

A key skill required by a business intelligence expert is the ability to unearth deliberately hidden or accidentally concealed information. But it doesn’t stop there. The next step is to establish critical links or potentially damaging relationships which could affect business decisions. By clearly presenting complex information, we help clients to see the full picture and make informed decisions.
