Detecting and preventing risks linked to corporate partners

In an increasingly demanding economic and regulatory context, the use of intermediaries, subcontractors, consultants, suppliers, distributors or industrial partners exposes companies to financial, legal, reputational and commercial risks.

A poor choice of partner can lead not only to legal sanctions, but also to loss of market opportunities, an impact on the bottom line and lasting damage to an organization’s image and reputation.

It is to meet these challenges that ADIT’s Business Unit Due Diligence has been supporting its customers for over 30 years in assessing and controlling the risks associated with their business relationships.

A unique expertise in integrity due diligence

Thanks to its experience, ADIT has developed an expertise in the evaluation of third parties. This is based on a proven methodology combining :

• Analysis of financial and extra-financial information from open and specialized sources,

• Exploitation of local human sources thanks to a worldwide network of correspondents,

• Multidisciplinary approach mobilizing jurists, sector experts, compliance experts, linguists, etc.

Thanks to this unique combination, ADIT helps its clients to detect a group’s strengths and weaknesses and make informed decisions in strategic partnerships, mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures or supplier selection.

Europe’s largest team of Due Diligence experts

ADIT provides its clients with the Europe’s largest team of Due Diligence experts. With over 45 in-house consultants based in Paris and an international network of over 1,000 local correspondents, ADIT carries out over 3,500 studies each year on French and foreign companies, in over 130 countries.

The Business Unit brings together various profiles from prestigious educational backgrounds (Instituts d’Etudes Politiques, Inalco, IRIS, École de Guerre Économique…), with mastery of law, finance, geopolitics or international relations.
