Enhanced due diligence
Deeper checks on higher-risk clients, including source of funds and source of wealth reviews.
Who it is for
Professionals whose client or transaction carries a higher risk, for example a company buyer with a complex ownership chain, or an owner who is closely associated with a politically exposed person.
What we do
Explain why the client is rated higher risk.
Set out the evidence needed, such as bank statements and the sale agreement, and request it.
Review where the money and the wealth came from once the evidence arrives.
Recommend whether to proceed, and on what conditions.
What you receive
A written enhanced due diligence note and the supporting records, ending in a recommendation, for example: proceed only after senior sign-off and receipt of the source of funds evidence.
Your decision
The decision to act, and the legal responsibility, stay with you.
