Full Disclosure is a UK-based independent research company specialising in the provision of high-quality business intelligence for compliance and risk management. Our purpose is to help clients to adhere to compliance regulations and to make informed decisions that give them a competitive edge while protecting their reputations.
Full Disclosure can provide you with the information you need to enter into new business relationships with confidence, to assess the risks and opportunities of expanding into a new sector, country or region, to improve your environmental, social and governance standards, and to assist litigation, arbitration and asset recovery efforts.
Our analysts are experienced researchers with a thorough understanding of the countries in which they specialise, and with networks of reliable in-country sources that can provide valuable intelligence and advice on local legislation and regulations. We take pride in knowing where to find truly objective information and present our findings in easily digested formats that suit your particular needs.
Full Disclosure’s three main objectives
Compliance legislation
In recent years increasingly rigorous laws have been enacted around the world to combat corruption, bribery, organised crime and terrorism. While these have added to pressure on companies by requiring them to establish more thorough compliance procedures, we believe that this legislative stand offers a valuable opportunity to use the greater transparency as the underlying principle of a more productive approach to business cooperation.
Adopting a well-thought-out compliance policy and having access to high-quality enhanced due diligence reports is a safeguard against damaging legal costs and incalculable harm to your reputation. But, in addition, in-depth research and analysis allows you to enjoy the advantages and opportunities of operating in high-risk locations and industries. Full Disclosure exists to give you the information and solutions you need to prosper in the current regulatory environment and to carry out business internationally with confidence.
Why choose Full Disclosure
Being based just a short hop from central London and with a team of analysts with roots in all parts of the world, we offer a rare combination of sensitivity to the regulatory and statutory requirements governing international business and the specialist knowledge needed to discover and evaluate potential risks in specific contexts.
Skilled investigations
All our research analysts have proven investigative skills, with higher degrees from leading UK and international universities and experience working for due diligence providers, prestigious academic institutions and media organisations.
Local knowledge
We provide intelligence about places that we know inside out and in which we can count on a reliable and highly regarded network of local contacts to provide objective intelligence.
Wide-ranging focus
We can provide information targeted to many needs, from pre-transactional due diligence, anti-corruption compliance, arbitration and litigation support, asset recovery efforts, and the development of rigorous ESG standards.
Complete independence
We take great care to ensure that our investigations concentrate on information that is available in the public domain, and that information gathered from source enquiries is free of commercial, political or social pressures.
All-inclusive access
We maintain access to all the main providers of public records, relevant databases and media archives. Our analysts also know where to look when it is not possible to access reliable information through the usual means.
Human touch
We make use of the latest tools but also recognise that there is no substitute for manually trawling through the sources in the search of vital clues.
Bespoke service
We can supply standardised reports based on our own proven methodology, but are also ready to concentrate on the issues that most concern you and to present information in whatever format suits you best.
Competitive prices
We are a highly specialised company, so you pay for expert knowledge and research skills, rather than to support unrelated departments and executives.
Rapid turnaround
All our analysts are used to working under pressure, so you can be sure we will deliver every time.
