This Thanksgiving, we want to express our gratitude for your continued support. From entrusting us to provide top quality, accurate:

Background Checks (Executive Employment, Prelending, Third Party Onboarding),

Asset & Liability Investigative reports (Workouts, Recovery Pre- & Post-Litigation) to

Targeted Account Search (Judgment Recovery). We appreciate the opportunity to serve as a valued partner for accurate investigative reporting.

Your thoughtful consideration of our services, insights into how we can continue to improve, and your referrals to those that can benefit, is not taken for granted. Whether it’s been a kind word, a thoughtful comment or an insightful meeting, we have been blessed to make your acquaintance, do business with you, and enable business opportunities to move forward with the assurance of verified reporting.

Our office will be closed Thursday & Friday (11/27-28) for Thanksgiving. We will be open this week through 11/26 as we continue our mission to search out FACTS for those looking to close deals in early December.

We will reopen 12/1 and be ready to roll on investigations for EOM/EOY deals as well!

Here in New Orleans, Mardi Gras celebrations abound! The revelry, the costumes, parades and balls are weekend events that everyone looks forward to.

What has always fascinated me are the masks! They come in all shapes and sizes, made with beads, sequins, feathers and a host of other materials. Designed to attract, camouflage and increase the mystery and allure of the wearer. While masks add a certain dramatic flair to the festivities, they also increase the potential danger should the wearer be unscrupulous or have a criminal intent. Why? Because you can't identify the person behind the mask or determine possible intent based upon a historical record.

A background check is like looking behind the mask of a person to uncover what's hidden. Just as a mask can conceal a person's true identity, someone's public image can hide their past actions and behavior. A background check peels back that mask to reveal any criminal records, financial history, or other important information that may impact a person's (or company's) suitability for a deal and introduce potential risks that should be considered in strategic decisions as you move forward with a potential transaction. aVeriFact's reports detail the facts behind the mask based upon the results of an examination of multiple database sources, cross-referenced against public records at the local, state and federal levels, further compared to online, media and social media findings to ensure accurate, current, verified facts.

Don't miss out on a great prospect due to data entry errors, common name issues, unreported sources or out-of-date records. aVeriFact does the legwork to "cross I's and dot T's" for you! A review of UCCs, liens, bankruptcy, litigation, suits and judgments provides a look into the financial and legal history that could identify potential or on-going risks that may not have been voluntarily disclosed during discussions to date. A review of open/closed civil cases furthers your understanding of how they do business by identifying a history (i.e. "breach of contract" issues, serial open/close businesses, etc.) through a review of settlements or records that wouldn't show up in litigation, suits or judgments. Even a review of property transactions (properties being transferred to Trusts, spouse or family members) can shed light on assets being positioned for future plans that you may not be aware of.

Due Diligence should be based upon Facts not Fiction. Background checks require much more than simple database reports when you want to identify the face and uncover the story of who is behind the mask of your prospective borrower. It takes dedicated, knowledgeable, experienced investigators to search out information on the subject of the search, w**d out the noise and zero in on facts! aVeriFact has a wide range of options for due diligence requirements to meet every budget and timeframe!

"A backlog of 14,000 users requiring enhanced due diligence".

"New York financial regulators have found that the popular cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase violated anti-money laundering laws by failing to conduct adequate background checks. Coinbase will pay a $50 million fine to the New York State Department of Financial Services, and is also required to spend $50 million on improving its compliance program."

Background checks come in all shapes, sizes and price points. Not doing a background check as part of your customer onboarding can be far more costly than the price doing a background check that properly addresses the level of risk you are interested in identifying and taking steps to mitigate in the business relationship. $50 million can go a long way to obtaining basic database screenings to more comprehensive background investigations utilizing multiple database sources, direct investigation of public records at the Local, State and Federal levels, with online and media searches for greater accuracy.

The moral of the story? Invest in due diligence now or pay the price later.

"5 Ways To Do Due Diligence For Third-Party Vendors" provides a good overview of basic due diligence. What is missing are Background checks!

Third Party Vendor Due Diligence emphasizes physical security and cybersecurity evaluations. What is missing are common sense measures to identify potential risks by utilizing background checks on Key individuals (owners, executives, decision makers) or on the company itself.

After all, you are considering entrusting the assets and information of your company, employees and customers to a third party. Doesn't it make sense to properly evaluate the risks involved with the people in charge and the entity itself?

Relying on an online search (or single database provider) to determine factors such as reputation, financial stability, legal concerns, etc is like looking for needle in a haystack. You wind up with a ton of information that may not even be applicable or current to your specific third party!

Database searches provide information reported from various sources to the specific database, but doesn't guarantee that ALL available information is current, correct or noted by the database at all. Often, a "no find" means nothing has been reported to that database, not that it doesn't exist elsewhere!

Conducting an in-depth background search utilizing multiple database sources; with direct investigation into public record sources in the appropriate jurisdictions (Local, State and Federal), as well as social media and adverse media are necessary to cross reference and verify the accuracy of the initial database findings as well as information not reported to ANY database at all.

A look at Civil (open & closed cases) can provide insight into litigation that is in progress or has been settled in lieu of suit, such as a history of Breach of Contract situations. Criminal history, litigation, suits and judgments are pertinent to reputation as well. "Googling" won't get you the full picture that a background investigation will yield. After all, a thorough background check will often include the Exhibits that add context to the findings that a list on a database won't show.

By utilizing investigators and analysts to review all findings from a wide range of sources, Background checks provide greater accuracy than a single database or online search. It also provides a benchmark for any changes that may take place during the course of the contract.

Trust, but verify! It's more than technology, it's the people and the organization as well. Due diligence should cover human capital as well as IT processes and procedures.

Your thoughts?

When it comes to running a business, it's not uncommon for companies to rely on third party vendors to provide goods or services. These vendors can help
