Why investigative due diligence is necessary

Major transactions are vulnerable to crucial, well-hidden information that traditional due diligence may not access or validate

In the international marketplace, it is dangerous to assume the accuracy of public or proffered information from foreign sources.

You can use intelligence gathering and investigative due diligence to:

  • protect your company in complex domestic and international transactions

  • enforce non-compete covenants

  • trace and recover assets

  • screen executive and financial management candidates

  • uncover financial fraud and international economic crimes

  • protect intellectual property rights and

  • consult on international business practices and strategies.

Through the efforts of seasoned sophisticated investigators – such as, in the case of Cachet International, former CIA operatives – you can see past the paper to the potentially damaging hidden data.

Through in-depth interviews, reliance on vetted and proven associates and connections, credibility evaluations, surreptitious surveillance, accessing of secret or otherwise unavailable documents (non-public sources of information and records), and tapping into industry and government resources, specially trained and experienced investigators can uncover the data you need for peace of mind.

Beyond the nuances of a contract or financial statement, investigative due diligence adds value to traditional due diligence through access to vital, non-public data and resources; insight into murky data or questionable backgrounds; intelligence analysis from a forensic perspective; and evaluation of credibility and true intentions. The result: the competitive edge on which your success depends.
