Investigative Due Diligence training

Investigative Due Diligence courses

Also referred to as Open Source Investigations or OSINT (Open Source Intelligence). Intelect Group have specialised in Due Diligence enquiries and training for over ten years.

We’ll help your organisation stay safer from fraudsters, money launderers and adverse regulatory intervention by applying a risk based approach.

Due Diligence is a fundamental risk management function and a cornerstone to an effective Anti-Money Laundering program. The vast swathes of data available at our fingertips can make the gathering of relevant information difficult and cumbersome. Sign up for our training and we will make you much more effective and focused. As one of our delegates said recently,

“Massive amount of knowledge and information has been provided to us throughout the training. The techniques learned will enable me to produce my research efficiently by exploring and approaching the research from different angles, providing me the ability to cover all aspects of the research with more confidence.”
