Investigative due diligence services
Aperio Intelligence provides non-financial due diligence investigations, focusing on the track record, reputation, associations and likely integrity of one or more subjects. This type of investigative due diligence – depending on circumstances also referred to as “integrity due diligence”, “ethical due diligence” or “enhanced due diligence” – is critical to understanding the bona fides of a third party.
We go beyond traditional financial or legal due diligence methods which do not typically address human behavioural issues, and may be undermined by deliberate misrepresentation, or opacity.
Aperio’s due diligence team has substantial experience gathering and analysing information from across the world, helping you make sense of even the most complex and challenging scenarios.
Corporate investigations and litigation support
Aperio Intelligence’s investigations practice is based on two pillars: corporate investigations and litigation support.
Distinct but often complementary, these two activities provide our clients with insight into sensitive matters of personal or corporate malfeasance that are often highly difficult and complex.
Whether seeking to establish the truth about whistle-blower allegations, or assisting clients in arbitration or legal disputes, Aperio Intelligence operates to the highest standards of professional excellence, ethics, and integrity.
Activities include:
- Fraud investigations
- Bribery and corruption investigations
- Special instructions
Environmental, social and governance
Over the last decade, investors, consumers and regulators have sought to drive a more considered approach to business based on greater resource efficiency, reduced carbon emissions, gender parity, and building a more sustainable global economy. Corporates and financial institutions understand the need to identify and assess two sorts of ESG risks, both those which affect their operations, finances and compliance, and those associated with the impact of their business activities – both positive and negative – on people and planet.
Our ESG and wider integrity risk services assist our clients to identify their, or a potential partner’s, level of ESG exposure and to develop internal risk management processes that both support their business objectives and serve to reassure vital stakeholders.
Aperio Intelligence’s ESG practice is based on two distinct but interconnected pillars: ESG and sustainability due diligence and ESG advisory support. These two levels of assistance provide our clients with the necessary expertise to inform their strategy and decision-making around ESG risks.
Whether our clients are seeking to develop an ESG roadmap in line with international and industry best practice or require an in-depth assessment of a third party’s activities and ESG vulnerability, Aperio Intelligence’s cross-sectoral experience and global networks can provide assistance in a range of complex environments.
Strategic and political risk intelligence
Aperio Intelligence provides strategic intelligence and political risk services to help businesses and investors understand and respond to complexities in local markets. Drawing on our global network of human sources, our command of open-source information in multiple languages, and our investigative skill-set, we support our clients enter new markets, evaluate commercial opportunities, and navigate moments of difficulty.
Our strategic intelligence services are by nature bespoke to the particular situation facing our clients.
Our clients include multinational corporations; private equity firms; hedge funds; investment banks; and family offices.
