Bryant & Associates provides High Risk
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) by searching various internal and external,
private and public databases. The various databases that we routinely access are compiled from thousands of reputable
international public sources including newspapers, newsletters, newswires,
technical journals and periodicals, industry publications, official law
enforcement wants and warrants lists, prosecutorial bodies, intelligence
agencies, governmental sanction lists and regulatory enforcement actions.
This High Risk Enhanced Due Diligence search is designed to identify
individuals or entities worldwide that are known, suspected or substantially
alleged to be involved in, either directly or indirectly, money laundering,
organized crime, fraud, drug trafficking, terrorism, public corruption, human
rights violations, or
subject to official sanction. In addition, lists of Politically Exposed
Persons (PEPs), their family members and close associates are continually
added to the database. To reflect new developments, the database is updated
daily with hundreds of additional individual/entity names being added monthly
including photographs when available.
A search may be conducted by individual, corporation, aircraft, and vessel or
country name. The results returned include any and all identifying data,
affiliations (individual or corporation), allegation/charge,
agency/jurisdiction, disposition and date reported. In a majority of
cases, particulars can be provided as to the details of the scheme or the
nature of the involvement of the individual or entity in the high risk
behavior. A copy of the search
results is provided with a date and time stamp as proof of due diligence. In
order to enhance the comprehensiveness of the results, a manual open source and
specifically targeted internet search will also be conducted on the subject name,
particular emphasis will also be placed in the jurisdiction where the subject
is domiciled.
