C6 Intelligence Sees 300% Increase in Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) Reports

LONDON, December 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Having seen a three-fold increase in its Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) operation in the past 12 months, C6 Intelligence Information Systems predicts further substantial growth in 2013.

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) is the process of revalidation of a customer's identity, their companies and relationships, and analysis of relevant risk factors associated with conducting business transactions with that customer, be it an individual or a business.

Director of C6 Intelligence's Enhanced Due Diligence Operation Colin Holder said, "Due to the current financial climate and regulations, banks and financial organisations want to protect themselves against fraud and money laundering investigations by documenting their client profiles. Our C6 Intelligence EDD reports are the preferred choice for our clients because our advanced systems and processes allow us to go into greater depth in our research reports than our competitors, without incurring increased costs."

C6 Intelligence EDD reports contain information on:

• Subject identifiers
• Detailed analysis of relevant business and personal relationships
• Relevant media / litigation profile
• Detailed risk factors
• All reports are fully sourced from public record data

Mr Holder continues, "We found that our clients needed enhanced personal identifiers and business background checks, which required a level of in-country knowledge that their existing solutions could not provide. Our EDD reports include confirming connections to known close personal associates and their aliases. In addition, the clarity of our researchers' evaluations on 'Jurisdictional Risk' and 'PEP (Political Exposed Person) Risk' have been enthusiastically received."

C6 Intelligence Managing Director Richard Bensberg confirmed, "The increase in uptake of our EDD reports is a function of our investment in the product, which was revamped last year with a new reporting format, and with the additional expertise of a newly created specialist EDD Analyst unit incorporating multi-lingual Analysts with advanced research and analytical skills, able to create compliant EDD solutions for clients across a range of industries."
