Red Flag & Refresher Screening Solutions

Mitigating risk requires knowing the background of who you’re conducting business with. Establishing a comprehensive screening program is an essential step in maintaining shareholder value, public image and financial stability.

i-fact@nalysis’s Risk Assessment and Red Flag screening programs are designed to provide a snapshot of a new or existing customer, partner, vendor, third party agent or independent contractor in a timely and cost-effective manner. Our solutions are designed to collect the relevant, up-to-date, domestic and international business and government public records, information from proprietary databases, media outlets and our global network of sources to obtain the facts for clients to make well-informed business decisions.

Businesses need to know the backgrounds of the party(s) they conduct business with to ensure they do not enter into a relationship with unscrupulous, ethically challenged or criminally motivated entities or individuals, which could have damaging ramifications.

A preliminary risk assessment of the party(s) involved in a potential or existing business transaction is crucial in today’s regulatory environment. Our preventative programs satisfy the various FCPA, AML, KYC, CFT, PEP, UK Bribery Act and similar regulatory requirements. Our analytical analysis is supplemented with human intelligence specialists and research analysts to develop the critical information relating to a party(s) capabilities, business and/or personal history, financial stability, criminal activities, and their propensity for litigation.

Initial Risk Assessments and Red Flag screening programs identify warning signs that elevate the risk of entering into or conducting a business transaction with a particular party(s). Red Flag identification provides the client with an option to conduct a more in-depth due diligence on the party(s) prior to entering into a business relationship or transaction. Our preventative Risk Assessment and Red Flag Screening solutions reinforce the effectiveness of a company’s due diligence process and are tailored to fit an organization’s risk posture and budget.

i-fact@nalysis has designed Red Flag Screening programs for new partners, vendors, customers and agents and the periodic “Refresher Screening” for existing business relationships.

Case Study: Refresher Screening terminates client’s business relationship with existing customer

A global U.S. based metals company requested a due diligence investigation into an existing customer that had been vetted three (3) years earlier as part of the “Refresher Screening” program developed by i-fact@nalysis to ensure the companies compliance with A DOJ guidelines.

i-fact@nalysis’s Refresher Due Diligence Screening process quickly identified evidence of recent criminal activity and produced court documents (Felony Complaint naming of the company, its CEO and other executives as defendants) and recent media coverage of the alleged seven figure fraud. i-fact@nalysis’s Red Flag notification process alerted the client within 24 hours. The client immediately ended its business relationship with the subject company.

Case Study: Multi National Conglomerate vetting of third party agent

i-fact@nalysis was retained by a Fortune 100 company to conduct an in-depth due diligence investigation on a number of third party agents located in several Middle Eastern countries to determine if there was any evidence of bribery, corruption or other violations of the FCPA, connections to local organized crime elements or other criminal activity, general reputation of the individual agents and their companies. A business unit of the client company had proposed the third party agents be placed under contract to facilitate handling multiple tenders with foreign governments in the region. i-fact@nalysis’s team of research analysts and intelligence specialists located in the Washington, D.C., New York and Boston offices began comprehensive multi jurisdictional research to identify information that would disqualify the “Third Party(s)” as “Agents” of the client.

i-fact@nalysis’s office in Saudi Arabia assisted the team in gathering intelligence from local informed sources and industry insiders relating to the reputations, political affiliations and other pertinent information on the third party agents. The research team determined one of the third party agents had business and family ties to a former high ranking foreign government official who had fallen out of favor with the U.S. due to allegations of corruption relating to allegedly receiving kick backs. The investigative due diligence further determined several of the third party agent’s businesses shared the same business addresses of companies affiliated with the former foreign government official referenced earlier and were reported as part of a network of former government officials and businessmen with less than desirable reputations. The client stopped all negotiations with two of the third party agents. i-fact@nalysis conducted further investigative due diligence on other proposed third party agents.
