Due Diligence
With rising compliance pressures and growing public scrutiny of corporate leaders, companies today face heightened reputational and regulatory risks when appointing C-suite executives, board members, or senior partners.
Traditional Hiring Practices Often Miss Hidden Risks
Executive candidates often present stellar resumes, but hidden risks like legal disputes, financial misconduct, conflicts of interest, or inflated reputations are difficult to uncover through CV reviews or interviews alone.
A professional executive due diligence process should include
Verified legal, financial, reputational, and corporate affiliation records
Cross-border coverage for global/Greater China executives
Tailored compliance support for listed companies or regulated industries
Confidentiality and discretion to protect hiring strategy
