Due Diligence Services

We believe that outsourcing is key to helping an organisation play to its strengths. However, for your organisation to perform optimally, your strategic business partners must be consistently meeting or exceeding agreed service levels. We help you verify that your specialist service partners are performing at optimal levels by offering services consistent with their strengths, in accordance with the relevant legislation, contractual obligations and with appropriate and consistently applied controls and procedures, minimising your outsourcing risks. We also consider the strength of their organisational culture and strategy, and their ability to deliver high quality services over the long term, whilst operating in accordance with community expectations.
