Illustrative Scenario: Background Check for a Senior Appointment

Suppose an organisation is about to make a senior appointment. With the candidate's consent, our team would verify academic credentials, carry out police clearance (PCC) and litigation-history checks through official channels, screen against the UN, AU, EU and OFAC sanctions lists and review open sources.

Illustrative scenarios showing how we approach typical matters. They are not accounts of specific client cases.

The Challenge

An organisation needs to verify a senior candidate's credentials and professional history, and to find any undisclosed conflicts.

Forensic Approach & Methodology

Investigators would confirm degree certificates through verification with the issuing institutions, screen the candidate against the UN, AU, EU and OFAC sanctions lists, and review public records and media for undisclosed directorships or conflicts.

Outcome & Impact

What an examination could establish: Whether the candidate's academic history and directorships match what they declared, to inform the hiring decision.
