For a private investigator nothing is as satisfying as being able to find evidence for a client. When it comes to business, evidence is the difference between a good deal and a bad deal, between investment and loss. When the evidence is positive and supports the subjects’ claims, it is good news for our clients. And when the evidence indicates fraud, it is also good news, because it means that investigating was the right thing to do before making an investment or taking important steps forward. And due diligence is the right tool to obtain this evidence so you can make informed decisions.

For companies that operate in Russia and several countries, or those who hire, outsource or have business deals in Russia, hiring a local private investigator in Russia to conduct due diligence is a necessity. Due diligence is no longer one of those good practices that help companies do better, it is a must that no one can skip, especially those who want to continue in business.

The current business environment in the whole world is grim and chaotic. The health emergency and the regulations placed by the governments have hit businesses all around the world. Many companies will go bankrupt and other will survive with changes, which means almost everyone will be rearranging resources, dealing with new providers, new suppliers, new outsourcing services, etc. In this chaos, due diligence will be essential to mitigate the risks and improve odds of success.

Fraudsters will not pass the due diligence exam when it is conducted by local professional investigators. A private investigator in Moscow or St. Petersburg can find reliable evidence to uncover the fraudsters that will be taking advantage of the current situation. And believe us, there will be many trying!

The following are some important thing to consider when hiring and conducting due diligence investigations in Russia.

Establish a base line for your investigations

It is important to have an internal procedure in place to make sure that all new business deals and all new candidates will be examined in the same way. Risk mitigation practices involve careful design of procedures and protocols.

Decide what is relevant for your organization

Relevant information will most likely not be included in a database search. Thorough investigations will provide relevant data, and will require the experience and knowledge of ground investigators in Russia. Deciding what your due diligence can’t miss is one of the initial basic steps.

Hire the right private investigation company

Many things can intervene, which is why selecting the right team is so important. Laws and language are different in Russia than in the U.S. or any other country. Despite this, you will need to ensure that your company is getting the right answers to all its questions. When researching companies that offer private investigation services in Russia, be sure to look for a few key factors. Make sure they have investigators on the ground, that they are compliant with the law, and that their work can be tracked back to guarantee they are experienced.  Real investigations require real investigators!

International due diligence conducted by trained investigators in the country where you need them is the most effective tool to make better hiring and investing decisions. Do not miss the chance of avoiding fraud or scams. Contact us for more information on due diligence services.
