Business integrity risk is not just a compliance checklist. It sits in the context around the investee: ownership, public-sector exposure, licensing, third parties, incentives, local enforcement, sector pressure, and the way controls actually operate. This assessment tests those risks before capital is committed.
Start with a focused diagnostic. Leave with a report, an inherent risk register, a net-risk view, and a clear steer for gap analysis.
Business integrity risk rarely appears as one isolated issue. It shows up in the gap between what is disclosed and what can be verified, the policy and the practice, the control and the workaround, the public-sector interaction and the incentive behind it.
We use the Business Integrity Tool logic to move from gross risk to mitigation and net risk, then identify where deeper diligence, stronger safeguards, or an action plan are needed.
Jurisdiction, sector, ownership, licensing, sanctions, political exposure, public tenders, cash handling, supply chains, and historic allegations.
Policies, leadership, resources, internal controls, monitoring, third-party management, reporting channels, investigations, training, and remediation.
You see which risks are inherent, which controls are credible, and where net risk could affect the investment decision.
We do not treat business integrity due diligence as a generic checklist. We assess gross risk, available evidence, control maturity, and net risk in the context of the investment.
We identify the gross risk that exists before controls are considered. That includes geography, sector, ownership, licensing, sanctions exposure, political links, public-sector interactions, cash intensity, supply chain complexity, and known issues around fraud, bribery, conflicts, or misconduct.
We review the background, track record, reputation, and conduct risks of the investee and key principals. This includes registration, licensing, ownership, watchlists, litigation, public records, media signals, references, and context-specific red flags that require explanation.
We compare existing business integrity controls against the risk profile and relevant good practice. We look at policies, leadership, accountability, resources, internal controls, monitoring, third-party management, communication, training, reporting, investigation, and remediation.
We separate manageable risks from issues that may require deeper diligence, contractual safeguards, ownership changes, stronger monitoring, or a no-go decision. The output steers a practical action plan linked to risk criticality, responsible owners, timing, and decision implications.
The assessment follows the Business Integrity Tool logic: screen the risk, verify the evidence, test the controls, then convert findings into a practical action plan for diligence, contracting, monitoring, or investment committee decisions.
Start with the investment context, sector, geography, ownership, public-sector exposure, commercial pressure, and known red flags. This sets the inherent risk baseline before controls are considered.
Identify the documents needed to verify disclosures and understand the integrity controls already in place. The request list is shaped around the risks most likely to affect the investment decision.
Review registration, ownership, licences, watchlists, litigation, reputation signals, principal-level concerns, and contextual red flags that need explanation before proceeding.
Score gross risk, test mitigations, identify control gaps, and separate managed risks from unresolved exposures. This creates the gap analysis between current controls and good-practice risk management.
Turn findings into a report, inherent risk register, net-risk view, and action-plan steer for decision-makers. Actions can inform diligence, contracting, safeguards, or investment committee conditions.
Define what should be tracked after the decision, including ownership of actions, timing, evidence requirements, review points, and indicators that residual risk is increasing or reducing.
Keep this focused. We need enough context to understand the investment, the disclosures already available, and the integrity risk questions that matter most.
To succeed in a data-driven environment, organisations need more than traditional approaches. They need solutions that connect decision makers with the right information, expert judgement, and operational control when it matters most.
