Frequently Asked Questions on Due Diligence and Compliance Issues
Which Due Diligence Service Do I Need?
There are as many reasons to do due diligence as there are people who need to do it. This post will cover
some of the types of due diligence and the reasoning behind them. In categorizing due diligence inquiries,
there is one major dividing line that separates all due diligence projects, questions, and strategies into one of
two possible types, and that is the line that divides the positive from the negative.
Negative due diligence inquiries are looking for things gone wrong or potentially going to go wrong. Positive
due diligence cases are looking for the potential for things to go right. One is evaluating for negative incidents
in the past or for future risks and threats, while the other is evaluating for existing quality or the potential for
quality. These two major categories are not superficially different, they are totally different. They require
different plans, different methodologies, and totally different skillets among practitioners. Negative focused
due diligence projects focus on “finding” information and intelligence, while positive ones largely focus on
“evaluating” for quality and potential. When making an investment based on positive information, the
information itself is not enough – analysis is required to determine if it truly represents a positive or not.
Having said that, even due diligence cases focusing on the negative, touch on the positive in one way –
confirmation of facts and claims. Confirmation, however, is a far cry from evaluating whether something is, in
fact, a positive or not. A typical Level 1 Due Diligence Investigation at Augustus Hall Limited engages in a
search for unknown negatives, an investigation into known negatives, and confirmation of expected positives.
In addition, even negatives-focused due diligence investigations can be separated into ones focusing on
known and unknown issues that have occurred in the past and negatives that represent risks or threats for
the future. At Augustus Hall Limited, we separate these two cases into the following:
Level 1 Due Diligence – which focuses on both incidents that have become public knowledge or been
recorded into official documents in some way, and market reputation concerning past incidents and
operations.
Advanced Due Diligence – which focuses on uncovering and analyzing potential risks and threats which
could impact the organization in the future

As an illustration of a typical investment transaction, and the risks that it faces, consider the following
potential ways the investment can go wrong. Each case is matched with the type of due diligence that should
be done before the investment is made.
1 – You knew there was no quality yet, but you expected it to develop over time. It didn’t. Augustus Hall
Limited doesn’t address this issue with our due diligence. This is a positives-focused due diligence.
2 – You thought quality existed but it didn’t. This is a Level 1 due diligence failure. Expected positives were
not confirmed.
3 – Quality existed but negatives existed that you didn’t know about, causing derailment of the investment.
This is a Level 1 Due Diligence failure. You received all the positives you thought you were buying, but also
got negatives you didn’t know you were getting.
4 – Quality existed but known negatives were misjudged due to lack of insight, causing derailment of the
investment. This is a Level 1 Due Diligence failure. This one works both ways. By not investigating the known
negatives deeply enough and therefore underestimating them, an investment can produce “surprising”
results instead of predictable ones. By not investigating a known negative enough, and overestimating its
impact on the business, a known negative has cause a missed opportunity. In both cases, information existed,
but insight did not.
5 – Quality existed but internal and external changes to the situation caused that quality to disappear. This is
an Advanced Due Diligence failure. It is a failure to perform complete risk management on your investment.
Sometimes the threats are predictable and visible to everyone but the investor, who is making the investment
at arm’s length.
Each business person, upon looking at his investment target or transaction partner, must choose a due
diligence type based on his specific situation as outlined above.

Comprehensive Due Diligence Reports on a Company / Business Entity
A Comprehensive Due Diligence report is an expanded version of the Enhanced Due Diligence Report offered by Augustus Hall and serves as a thorough investigation tool into a company and its majority or principal shareholders to reveal shareholders’ link to other entities, screen these shareholders for adverse or PEP listing as well as media reports and local reputation particularly. A Comprehensive Due Diligence report goes back as far as three levels of shareholding i.e. details of the level 2 shareholders and level 3 shareholders. This to uncover the identity/ies of the ultimate beneficiary/ies or controller/s of the subject entity investigated. Additionally the report identifies any related companies and affiliates through shareholding/directorships or management by the principals of the subject company or those companies that share the same particulars of address as the subject. Companies where the subject has a shareholding participation in this report would also have indicated the names of other shareholders and country where they are incorporated/origin as well as percentage of their shareholding. Up to three of the subject’s principals and shareholders of over 2% (and less than 10 shareholders) will be covered in this report and efforts will be made to collect and provide their biographical data, positions in other companies, reputation and networks in local circles, links to public officials, press checks, electronic sources checks (internet), screening & PEP lists checks.

According to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an inter-governmental regulatory body spearheading the implementation of global Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Terrorist Financing (CFT) legislation, PEPs are past or current officeholders, or individuals who are or were formerly entrusted with high level public functions in a country. Examples of these positions of trust and power include senior politicians, heads of state or of government, senior judicial or military officials and important officials of political parties, as well as senior executives of state-owned enterprises.
PEP - Politically Exposed Persons Screening report from Augustus Hall is a tool considered by organizations concerned about their reputational exposure and the fulfilment of compliance obligations, risk appraisals & management particularly for being associated with politically exposed persons, this highlighting the fact that additional or enhanced due diligence is then required to avoid being linked to possible bribery or corruption.
PEP - Politically Exposed Persons Screening is performed against a search of a database containing over 1.9 million profiles, current and former PEPs, their family members and close associates, where research centres are actively adding thousands of new profiles to this database and information is constantly being updated.
