Non-financial due diligence

Business transactions such as mergers and acquisitions or developing a joint venture can mean opening a business up to financial, reputational or occasionally even criminal risks.  Making a qualitative assessment of the risks involved is an essential part of any transaction but pure financial due diligence rarely provides a complete profile of any counterparty, particularly if they are operating in more complex environments.  This means that decisions can be made on information which does not include critical market and reputational issues such as possible corruption, regulatory scandals or involvement with organised criminal groups.

G4S Risk Management aims to provide clients with the highest possible levels of transparency for their transactions by sourcing, analysing and reporting the information which is crucial to making informed decisions.  Our presence in over 110 countries and our extensive experience gives us an unparalleled capacity to undertake comprehensive and complex due diligence investigations.

Our teams are drawn from diverse backgrounds, ranging from the intelligence services, finance, the law and academia, which makes them highly qualified to discreetly analyse business critical information and advise companies on the issues they may face. Our teams access public and non-public sources and evaluate the information gathered in order to advise clients on the reputational risks they face.  Research will provide significant analysis of ownership structures and influences, the profiling of Directors and Officers and an overall reputational assessment.
