Case Study: Red Flag Screening leads to Enhanced Due Diligence

As part of their overall investment strategy a large U.S. based financial institution entered into a multimillion dollar public construction loan project. The general contractor of the project hired multiple construction firms to work on the project and after a year of progress the general contractor filed for bankruptcy and defaulted on the multimillion dollar loan.

An i-fact@nalysis’s managing director received authorization to conduct a postmortem due diligence on the general contractor. A research team determined several of the construction companies hired by the general contractor were shell companies operated by individuals with questionable backgrounds. The postmortem enhanced-due diligence produced sufficient evidence indicating the financial institution was the victim of an elaborate fraud. Law enforcement authorities were presented with the results of the enhanced due diligence and were successful in prosecuting three individuals. The financial institution was successful in recovering a portion of the construction project loan.
