Our Services

Enhanced due diligence
Background Italia performs enhanced due diligence background checks on companies and individuals across the world on a daily basis. Our expertise in the sector allows us to detect potential sources of risk and give clients timely responses to guarantee business continuity and to prevent potential issues.

Background checks
Background checks are a determining factor in the outcome of a business operation. The track record and reputation of a company or an individual can have a major impact on the client's reputation, making it vital to know what the risk factors of a potential partnership are. 

Internal investigations and audit
Mitigating the risks relating to internal fraudulent activities should be a top priority for every company; a rogue employee or other insider threats can severely damage a corporation’s reputation, integrity and overall market standing. We specialize in the investigation of fraudulent activities and other white collar crimes as part of our internal audit services. We also provide local representation of third-party auditing proceedings throughout Italy.

Digital forensics
Our dedicated team of digital forensics experts can rely on the most recent technologies and expertise and can provide timely assistance on a variety of incidences. We assist clients in both protecting company know-how and detecting if there have been data breaches or information leakage.

Compliance
Compliance with national and international regulations can be multi-faceted depending on the client's activity, provenance and relation to third parties. With this in mind, we provide tailored solutions for every need that guarantee compliance with the most widespread AML and anti-corruption regulations, namely the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and UK Bribery Act.

Pre-employment screenings
New hires, be they employees, middle level managers or C-level executives, should always be vetted according to the roles and responsibilities they are going to have in the company. Underestimating the potential issues involved with a wrong hire can seriously affect the business, in terms of reputation, returns, profit or business continuity. We assist our clients with tailored background checks activities, aimed at identifying the best candidate for their needs and avoiding further problematics for their companies.
