Verity Consulting Limited, headed by Managing Director Kelvin Ko, is a corporate investigation consultancy with a focus in Hong Kong and Greater China, dedicated to helping corporations prevent and mitigate risks. Whether due diligence, litigation support, asset and background search, fraud and other commercial investigation, the highly experienced team is committed to support clients’ evolving needs. To help business leaders successfully mitigate risks, Verity takes a holistic approach to due diligence. Its in-depth research provides visibility to a company’s background and structure, details into its management and shareholders, business interests, company and individual litigation involvement and reputation. Additionally, field investigation is combined to reveal intelligence and hidden facts about a company’s environment and conditions, business operation and scale, and credibility from various perspectives. “In cases such as supplier due diligence, it is common that everything looks promising on paper, but a simple site visit will reveal otherwise,” says Ko. “For example, long overdue staff salaries and payments to vendors may suggest the supplier has financial difficulties. Field investigation is an added advantage in the process, but in many cases, especially when establishing relationships with foreign partners, it’s a must.”
Aggressive enforcement of international laws and recent developments in regional regulations have put increasing pressure on multinational and local companies to comply with the rules.
“The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission has implemented a regulation requiring sponsors to perform due diligence on applicants in the effort to improve initial public offerings standards,” says Ko. “Along with the tightening of Chinese anti-corruption laws, the demand for due diligence has increased significantly.
“At Verity, we are responsive and adaptive to the evolving regulatory framework as well as today’s business changing requirements. Our unique investigative service offers our clients a holistic view providing valuable insights and local knowledge, prepare them to mitigate associated risks and maximise opportunities.”
