Clients include Accounting and Law Firms, Asset-Based Lenders, Investment Bankers, and Private Equity and Venture Capital Firms. FOR EXAMPLE, AICPA RECOMMENDS BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS FOR BEST PRACTICES COMPLIANCE. It's all about character and corporate governance; knowing your clients and knowing your prospects prior to engagement. In this regard, SI provides services for a significant number of the 100 largest Accounting Firms. Products include Prospective Client Reports and Pre-employment Background Investigations. SELECTIVE INVESTIGATIONS VERSUS A COMPREHENSIVE RISK MANAGEMENT APPROACH. Risk Management Programs have come into their own as an essential ingredient in protecting and enhancing corporate assets. Management decisions from the Board Room to Human Resources are becoming more and more difficult as businesses of all sizes become prey to opportunists and criminals alike. Background and Pre-Employment Investigations are now established elements of an effective risk management regimen. Conventional wisdom is now evolving from the use of selective investigations case by case to a more comprehensive risk management approach. This results in casting a large protective net by gathering intelligence on all deals, companies and persons significant to corporate operations prior to transaction. Several large Scherzer International clients have reported averages in the area of 10% where findings have either stopped a deal or engagement, a C-level hire or Board election, or significantly changed contract terms. FINANCIAL SERVICES SPECIALIZATION. Asset-based lenders utilize SI's Credit Underwriting and Corporate Management Investigations. Private Equity and Venture Capital firms, and Investment Bankers are privy to detailed information about potential investments often overlooked by conventional due diligence efforts. And, regulations are on the horizon that will require knowledge of Hedge Fund Managers' management and business practices; SI is among the first to offer this product. PRE-EMPLOYMENT INVESTIGATIONS FOR ALL PROFESSIONAL AND FINANCIAL SERVICES FIRMS. Pre-Employment Background Investigations, specifically designed for each client's needs, can range from entry level and campus recruits, to supervisory and senior management positions, up to the lateral hire of professionals and partners. Board of Director candidate background investigations can be designed for specific Board positions. In summary, Scherzer International offers 14 risk management products, the most significant of which for professional and financial services firms are: Prospective Client Report Pre-Employment Report (Levels IV and V) Corporate Management Report Corporate Governance Report Money Manager Report THE SCHERZER DIFFERENCE.
