Your company’s due diligence process requires a wealth of information to be effective, especially in a world in which global business has become increasingly prevalent.

The following are some ways you can enhance your due diligence process:

Adverse news search: Regulators suggest the inclusion of an adverse news search as part of any due diligence program. Negative news pinpoints adverse news on a person or company by looking for the entity name in association with derogatory words, such as embezzle, fraud, indict, bankrupt and launder.
Company reports: Having access to databases full of company reports can provide a company with more in-depth information as part of its due diligence processes. The company’s corporate history profile could tell you if the company changed its name at any point in the past. Global locations could tell you if the company operates in any high-risk parts of the world, which would require greater precaution. This information allows your due diligence processes to be significantly more cohesive.
Sanctions and watch lists: Getting lists of sanctions and watch lists can help you determine which individuals or companies with which you might now want to do business. Your organization may suffer reputational damage or be subject to penalties or sanctions if you are found to be working with entities on sanctions lists or watch lists.
Biographical information on individuals: Key facts about individual people, such as their date of birth, relatives, marital history, hobbies, career history, educational background, and credentials, can help you learn more about the kind of person you are working with — or how qualified an individual is to take on a position with your company.

These are just a few examples of how you can bolster your company’s due diligence process. For further legal guidance on this important matter, speak with an experienced Dallas attorney at Whistleblower Law for Managers.

Testimonials

"Steve Kardell was terrific in representing me in some very adversarial discussions with Citigroup and also later represented me in my testimony before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission." -Richard Bowen, Citigroup Whistleblower
"Incredible knowledge of employee related concerns and equally brilliant knowledge of health care regulations, standards of practice. I would recommend this firm to anyone." -V.B.
"Reaching out to Steve Kardell was the best decision I made. His ability to provide immediate insight and direction was very powerful, and a huge relief during a very stressful time period. For anyone struggling with a whistleblower situation, I would highly recommend at least speaking with Steve. After a 10 minute call with him, I had a better understanding of what I was dealing with. Even better, he gave me some immediate hope. In the end Steve did a better job than I thought was possible. Steve was able to get in contact with people in my organization, that I didn’t have access to. Because of his years of experience, he already has contacts in many organizations in Dallas. The entire situation was handled peacefully. I was impressed by his ability to “keep the peace”–rather than creating a battle with the organization. The reason I didn’t reach out to a lawyer initially, was because I thought it would mean an immediate end to any hope of a positive relationship with the company. Steve was able to address my concerns, and in the end I was able to continue to work for them." -KS
"Never thought my career would end like it did after 30 years of service. I was part of the first round of the so called reduction of force. I asked myself how can I be part of this with 30 years of seniority. How did they pick these 90 plus employees? Now, the culture of this organization made you question every decision they made. It wasn’t what you knew it’s was a culture of who you know. Nonetheless, I did not accept their severance package. I immediately starting looking for an attorney who would take on my case. After the initial call to Steve I had hope again. He was open and honest about everything and reassured me he would do his best for me, and he did. I had an awesome outcome. Thanks Steve you’re the best." -S.S.
