Press release
June, 2008
What is your exposure to counterparty credit risk?
The answer to this question is critical to the success and reputation of your business.
Do you have the resources to determine risk and investigate and identify fraud?
“Inadequate credit risk management and the failure to exercise the effective control over securities collateralizing… transaction are the most important factors causing…heavy losses.”
Can you adequately protect your business and your reputation?
Because these times are like no others, International Consultants and Investigations, Inc. (Licensed in the State of New York, USA) provides the resources to answer these questions for you. Frauds and scams are measurably rampant in businesses, on the Internet, in the banking and brokerage community and in any entity where money moves. Phishing for personal information and the theft of identity are a problem of global proportions.
“Frauds have been few in number but when they do happen they can often be measured in tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars. So it is important for investors to do adequate due diligence in order to give themselves the maximum protection and minimize the likelihood that they will be the next victim.”
We are all amazed at the gullible people who respond to sham letters offering riches in return for good faith money. Because of the experience and skills of management, we don’t think of HEDGE FUNDS, BANKS or BROKERAGES as falling for these schemes. Because of the sophistication that goes into perpetrating fraud, though, — glossy pitch books, lengthy business plans, referenced web sites and letters of credit, security bonds or letters of introduction from the heads of multi-national banks—it is very difficult to judge if the prospective client sitting across from you in your own office is legitimate.
We at International Consultants and Investigations, Inc. have extensive experience in mitigating your exposure to just these types of risk. Our agents, experienced in banking, brokerage, law enforcement and the intelligence services, have experience in USA PATRIOT Act compliance, counterparty identification and global background verifications and securities verification as well as a track record in multi-national investigations throughout The United States, South America, Europe, the Far East and the Middle East.
HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY YOUR CLIENT OR INVESTOR?
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU’RE INVESTING WITH?
HOW DO YOU VALIDATE COLLATERAL and/or BANK GUARANTEES?
YOUR REPUTATION AND THE HEALTH OF YOUR BUSINES RELIES ON YOUR ABILITY TO CONTROL THESE EXPOSURES. LET ICI PARTNER WITH YOU AND HELP YOU MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS.
Kindest regards,
Earl R. Johnson
President
