Governance and Organisational Dilemmas in Building up Your Due Diligence Process

December 2014ComplianceDefence

Abstract

In modern corporate times, due diligence investigations into third parties cannot be left solely to the initiative of the virtuous employee or to the goodwill of the competent manager. They need to become a company attitude and, therefore, require the adoption of articulated policies and procedures which demand the development of the right mixture of norms, process discipline, organisational solutions, tools, as well as of internal and/or external capabilities. This is of course neither costless nor painless.
