Due Diligence
Intelligence for all levels of due diligence, including Mergers and Acquisitions, The Inkerman Group has a global capability in this area. We examine the business
The Inkerman Group has proven experience in the delivery of screening services to clients throughout the UK and on an international basis and for a broad range of clients, across a variety of industry sectors. The systems, processes and expertise exist within the business; we have an established in-house screening team and we are currently delivering a variety of these services at many levels, from base checks through to enhanced and in-depth candidate reports at due diligence level. Services are bespoke to each client and it is recognised that each of our clients requires a personalised and discreet level of service which best meets the needs of their business and its management requirements.
The level of check required varies for clients as a result of a number of factors including the level / complexity of the role within the employing organisation, geographical location, the assessed level of general risk facing the organisation and so on. The Inkerman Group is able to advise on the appropriate level of screening required dependent on the need; the screening team works hard with its clients to establish the relevant criteria and, therefore, the level / elements of screening which should be applied.
The Inkerman Group also has experience of screening large numbers of potential employees for clients, for example those which are required on a per event basis and require fast throughput of volume screenings within a short timeframe, for example for one-off events and exhibitions (such as verification checks). Other clients use the company’s vetting service on an ongoing basis for all their employees, at all levels, and we also supply services on a more ad hoc basis where in-depth screening is required internationally and to a significant depth of information.
