These famous cases certainly teach us all the importance of due diligence when it comes to business….
Due diligence is a phrase we often hear a lot about when it comes to business deals and cases. It’s easy to see why – when you’re getting involved in a business situation that can affect a large amount of people, there are lots of jobs at stake, and huge amounts of money are at risk, it’s highly likely (and very good sense) that you would want to know every last detail about the person or company you are about to do business with. Having one of our team here at Global Investigations conduct thorough due diligence would be an excellent way of making sure that happens. So it’s always incredibly baffling to hear about cases involving large, famous companies that have gone terribly wrong – and that it all could have been avoided if someone within the ranks had the foresight to conduct some due diligence! It’s bizarre that it so often gets forgotten by these major companies, and there are some famous cases that highlight just how important conducting due diligence really is. In these five high profile cases, had due diligence been taken seriously, we’re sure the outcomes would have been very different….-
