Corporate Intelligence, Reputational Due Diligence – Rob Parker, Manager,
PwC
Corporate Intelligence helps
companies manage third party risk and supports internal investigation teams in
the gathering of data amid allegations of wrongdoing. These investigative
procedures and techniques - often referred to as "reputational due
diligence" - can be used to assess potential risks posed by a company's
population of intermediaries, sales agents, service providers, and other
business partners, or to hone in on specific issues of fraud that arise
internally. This session will summarize the wealth of information that can be
learned through the reputational due diligence process, where this information
can be accessed through the international public domain, and how Corporate
Intelligence can help companies make informed decisions at crucial moments.

individuals; prepared and compiled full corporate intelligence reports for a
