Due Diligence

The dedicated staffs of InQuest/CheqWorld have handled thousands of background checks and detailed investigations on Individuals and Companies. As a single point of contact, our work enables clients to mitigate risks, ensure compliance and to make well-informed business decisions. Further, we assist corporations in preventing fraud and rectifying problems by conducting internal and external investigations and evidence gathering.
InQuest sets itself apart from its competitors, by using innovative tools. All our staffs comply with local laws, by-laws of our membership organisations and are trained to respect client confidentiality and to meet the highest ethical standards.

The staff of InQuest/CW are trained to handle cases respecting client confidentiality, regardless whether any non-disclosure agreements have been signed. InQuest reassures clients that this confidentiality extends even after completion of an inquiry. InQuest teaches its staff to maintain a high level of professional and ethical conduct. In conducting background checks, our operatives and researchers will ensure that the best practices are followed and that any information will be obtained ethically and legally, adhering to local laws and by-laws.

InQuest can run a background check on anyone but it must be both legal and ethical. Under most circumstances, InQuest will need an authorization from the client, such as for pre-employment screening and for due diligence cases. However, we understand that some inquiries need to be discreet, such as employee fraud, skip tracing, assets tracing etc. For the latter, the nature and background of the case needs to be assessed, along with checks for any conflicts of interests. InQuest has an in-house legal advisor and is in a good position to seek legal advice prior to taking on cases and ensure all evidence collected are legal and admissible as evidence in legal proceedings.

After receiving an inquiry, a scope and methodology of background check or an investigation is proposed to the client along with fees. These fees are determined based on the amount of work required by our team, the research undertaken, databases accessed, and field inquiries involved. All fees will include disbursements.
For some cases such as surveillance operations, InQuest may charge an hourly or daily rate, depending on how many operatives are deployed, the length of the operation, the requirement of a private vehicle etc. For these cases, disbursements may be added on top and charged at cost.
At InQuest we are committed to providing reasonable and competitive fee quotes with no hidden charges.

InQuest Advisories is a registered entity in India and Dubai and we directly undertake all the work in these 2 countries. Further, working in cooperation with our strong network of partners and associates globally, we regularly handle cross-border screening checks, investigations and other inquiries in the Asia Pacific and EMEA region.
