Standard Know Your Customer (KYC) checks verify basic customer identification details, but Enhanced Customer Due Diligence (ECDD) goes deeper—seeking to ensure and test that a business or individual is legitimate, operational, and financially credible.

We conduct in-depth ECDD investigations to verify and risk assess:

• True ownership & control – Beyond corporate filings, we may uncover hidden beneficial owners, nominee directors, and offshore structures;
• Business legitimacy – Assessing actual operations, financial intelligence, suppliers, revenue streams, and financial viability to detect shell companies; and
• Financial & risk profiling – Analyzing funding sources, debt/equity structures, and identifying potential fraud or sanctions risks.

With enhanced customer due diligence investigations and intelligence, we seek to go beyond the surface to provide a clear, risk-focused picture of customers, partners, and counterparties.

Meerkat Sentinel’s vast investigative experience can also assist to uncover fraud, bribery and corruption exposures, using data-analytics, financial ratio analysis and forensic audit.
