Due diligence cannot be singularly defined. It is a concept that implies the need to be prepared in advance for the unexpected or the detection of intentional deceit; as such it represents a composite of several essential requirements. In today’s high tech, multi-national, globalised environment, the ability to conduct accurate, ‘due diligence’ has surpassed most, if not all, businesses capabilities. In the world of international business the lines between domestic and multinational corporations has become blurred. In order for companies to adequately assess, analyse and disseminate this information overload they have to engage the services of a professional, dedicated, private security and intelligence agency in order to augment and enhance their due diligence effectiveness. |

CEO’s, CFO’s, Board Directors and other Executives, as those in public office are increasingly being held legally accountable to shareholders, employees, Board of Directors, and Governmental organisations for their critical business decisions. Recent high profile court cases, civil litigations, and public disclosures have reinforced this point repeatedly. Often the burden of failure to conduct ‘due diligence’ rests with the heads of corporate security and in turn their superiors. |

| | Comprehensive, accurate, thorough, responsible due diligence is a composite of the following. The inclusion or omission of one or more has become a delicate, sometimes precarious decision, making process. The Anvil Group, in consultation with corporate management, and heads of security can minimise this risk assessment process and ultimately, reinforce, not replace, existing corporate due diligence or security programmes. The Anvil Group should be regarded as a preventive, added insurance, ‘Crisis Avoidance Service’. We think, plan and implement. |
