Acquisition due diligence

A successful acquisition of a business requires a thorough understanding of the risks that comes with it. We help you understand the risks related to KYC & AML compliance.

The scope of the due diligence review is always determined together with you but will typically include:

• Reviewing Policies and Procedures: This will tell us if policies and procedures are up-to-date and aligned with current regulations.
• Assessing Customer Due Diligence (CDD) measures: This tells us if customer identities are adequately verified and proper onboarding procedures followed.
• Evaluating Ongoing Monitoring: This allows us to assess the effectiveness of the systems for monitoring customer activity and identifying suspicious transactions.
• Testing Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR): Once suspicious activity is identified it has to be addressed. We will evaluate the process for doing so.

Output: We will provide you with a report of factual findings and assessments. This can also include recommendations for post-acquisition improvements.

Vendor due diligence

If you are in the process of selling a business you will want to maximise value and avoid surprises late in the sales process. We help you achieve this through a thorough KYC & AML vendor due diligence.
