Corporate Intelligence

In business life, there are always situations in which companies need information about companies, people and events in order to identify risks and take appropriate precautions.

Not readily recognisable links with other companies, contacts with political decision-makers, ongoing legal disputes and critical press coverage can be of crucial importance when assessing a potential business partner or customer, especially at a time when regulatory requirements and liability risks for decision-makers are constantly increasing.

KPMG supports its clients by obtaining, analysing and presenting information from various sources. Using a methodology modelled on that of government intelligence agencies, we collect data and present it according to the client's requirements. Depending on the assignment, we use a variety of specialised technical solutions, including automated search software and visualisation software developed for law enforcement agencies to present complex correlations.

Using the same methodology, we provide support for company takeovers and mergers (M&A support) and carry out background research on individuals when filling prominent and sensitive positions in the company.
