3 benefits of digital due diligence tools

  1. Moody's offers digital due diligence tools designed to help you automate data checks and streamline the process.

  2. Our software can ingest and integrate data from a variety of sources including public records, private databases, and media outlets to provide you with robust information about potential customers or suppliers.

  3. And our solutions are designed to be adaptable, so they can be tailored to suit the specific needs and risk tolerance of your organization. 




Supporting your enhanced due diligence processes

Enhanced due diligence (EDD), which is a more detailed and thorough form of screening, is often carried out in higher-risk situations.

Configure your solution to categorize risk profiles according to your policies and tolerance to understand if you are dealing with a customer or supplier that poses a low, medium, or high risk.

You can integrate checks for politically exposed persons (PEPs), sanctioned entities, an individual or entity from a high-risk jurisdiction, or an entity that looks like it poses a shell company risk.

 

What constitutes a high-risk for your organization can be factored into the EDD process and tailored to your risk appetite.

Our solutions are also available for ongoing monitoring, so you can be alerted if risk factors change and re-screening is required. Find out more about a perpetual KYC approach.
