This is a combination of financial auditing, business investigation and forensic accounting techniques to provide comprehensive and jargon-free reports.

At CheckMate Investigations, we apply Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) techniques as a core component of our investigative process. OSINT involves the ethical collection and analysis of data from publicly accessible sources, including corporate registers, court records, news media, government filings, social media, and industry reports.
These insights allow us to develop detailed risk profiles, verify corporate structures, identify conflicts of interest, and detect warning signs that may otherwise go unnoticed. Our team uses advanced research methods to distil meaningful intelligence from vast amounts of information, supporting informed decisions in high-stakes environments.
Checking a builder's history is crucial for individuals or businesses to ensure the safety and success of their construction projects. This process helps identify any potential red flags, such as previous legal issues, financial instability, or poor workmanship, which could pose risks to the project. It allows our clients to make informed decisions, negotiate better contract terms, and avoid costly mistakes.
By taking this proactive approach, we can protect our investments and pave the way for a successful and smooth construction journey.
Ongoing monitoring of a subject is crucial for individuals or businesses to protect themselves against various forms of risk, including financial, reputational and legal. Just because the subject is determined as a low or medium risk upon the initial review, doesn’t mean this won’t change in the future.
An example of this is the building and construction industry, using pre and post Covid as a reference point where there was a substantial increase in construction costs, in turn having an adverse impact across the industry from businesses, to sub-contractors, to suppliers and the end consumer: the ‘mums and dads’.
Our ongoing monitoring includes the point in time review of changes to the status of the subjects financial/credit, solvency, legal history and corporate regulatory reputation.
