Day 22 - Levels of Due Diligence

Welcome to a special podcast series on the Compliance Podcast Network, 31 Days to a More Effective Compliance Program. Over these 31 days of the series in January 2025, Tom Fox will post a key part of a best practices compliance program daily. By the end of January, you will have enough information to create, design, or enhance a compliance program. Each podcast will be short, at 6-8 minutes, and will include three key takeaways you can implement at little or no cost to help update your compliance program. I hope you will join us each day in January for this exploration of best practices in compliance. On Day 22, we consider the levels of due diligence you should use when investigating third parties. Tom outlines the three due diligence levels necessary to manage corruption risk effectively. With insights from Candice Tal, founder and CEO of Infortal, Tom breaks down each level in detail, from initial screenings in level one to comprehensive, on-the-ground investigations in level three. He emphasizes the need for tailored approaches based on the risks associated with different business transactions and the importance of thorough documentation throughout the process.
