Corporate Governance Referencing

In the World of today corporate governance is high on the priority list of corporate boards, shareholders, governmental authorities and even law enforcers. In the last decade we have seen several major painful examples of what can go wrong. New legislation and conduct rules were introduced such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Tabaksblat and others.

But even when all your processes and procedures are in conformity with the sate of the art corporate governance expectations, the human factor can leave a huge gap in your corporate defences. So would it not be logical to acquire solid references on the managers who work for you?

We think that is it a requirement of corporate governance not only to select carefully your management force but also to thoroughly check references. This applies not only to CEO’s and CFO’s but also to everybody who has substantial management power.

We have therefore a series of tools to help on this. Ranging from a basic check by phone of relevant referees to full character investigation, we can provide you with all levels of assurance you wish to have. It is evident that this service is in line with the privacy regulations in The Netherlands.
