Bad clients don’t announce themselves. They rely on gaps in your process. This handbook closes those gaps, a practical, no-jargon A to Z guide to conducting thorough desktop due diligence, written by an investigative professional for the compliance, AML and financial services community.
Description
What This Handbook Does
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) should never just be a Google search and/or check of databases.
Reputable organisations are exposed to financial crime, money laundering and reputational damage not through negligence, but through a lack of investigative knowledge. This handbook changes that.
“An A to Z of Enhanced Due Diligence” is a practical, plain-English guide to desktop due diligence, built for the real world, written by someone who has spent years doing it.
Every letter of the alphabet is a lesson, a tool, or a technique you can apply immediately.

A–Z framework — 26 chapters covering everything from browser selection and metadata analysis to VPNs, jurisdictional risk, and the investigative mindset
Search skills — exact search operators that save time and dramatically improve results
KYC & onboarding — practical guidance on verifying identities, checking addresses, and spotting inconsistencies
Security posture — how to protect your investigations, your data, and your clients
Tools and resources — real, tested recommendations from active professional practice
