We can help make sure the people responsible for leading your firm are exactly who they say they are.
PERFORMING DEEP BACKGROUND CHECKS ON YOUR SENIOR EXECUTIVES AS A STANDARD PRACTICE IS A PRUDENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE WAY OF AVOIDING POTENTIALLY EMBARRASING AND DAMAGING CONFLICTS DOWN THE ROAD.
Pickering Sullivan routinely works with firms of all sizes to confirm background information on senior executives and board members.
We were engaged by a public tech company after concerns arose that a senior leader and board member may have misrepresented certain details of their educational background. The company had attempted to verify the individual’s education on their own but found that records were not available from the school in question.
As a boutique firm, we’re able to work rapidly and with complete discretion. Through a series of off-the-record discussions with trusted sources and by accessing records not available to the public, we were able to prove beyond a doubt that the individual did not have an MBA as claimed. Our client was able to manage the situation quickly and quietly, avoiding likely public exposure and erosion of shareholder trust.
Having a complete, up to date dossier on each executive leader and board member is a vital part of corporate governance. Talk to us about how we can make this a standard operating procedure for your company.
