Third Party Risk Assessment

The third-Party risk assessment report, whether it be on a person or any sized company, demonstrates that a thorough review has been carried out using the best resources to capture available public data that will either give assurance that there are no needs for concern or that raises red flags that require compliance and or business action.

What is a Third Party Risk

Third party risk is a risk that may be caused due to an association with any person or organisation that is connected to your supply chain or is executing business on your organisation’s behalf such as a supplier, distributor, agent and/or partner.

Business Search

Organization structure of the company & the beneficial owners behind the company’s structure.

Enforcement Action & Litigation

Whether your target is officially involved in either of these two legal actions; the latter could be criminal but also civil involving claims by the target or against them.

Negative Media & Social Media

Anything formally published in all print publications that have been digitized or web-based reports are screened for any red flags of corruption. There is a wealth of information available on social media, it can be useful but you must consider the source of the information provided. Usually, patterns of negative chatter may be worth noting and can lead to increased monitoring.

Location & Corruption Perception Index

Corruption Perception Index published by Transparency International is a risk evaluation not related to the company itself but the locations where the company is in operations. Although the location element often drives the initial overall risk rating higher; the results of a due diligence report could be used to reassess the overall level.

Financial Health

This will require screening of financial statements, financial estimates on contingent liabilities, cash flows, Credit ratings & other financial due diligences.

ESG related risks
