Clean Is Not Safe
Most due diligence tells you if a subject is clean. It does not tell you if they are strong. The Forensic Financial Report reads the accounts to a verdict.

Most due diligence tells you if someone is clean. It does not tell you if they are strong.
A subject can pass every sanctions check and every adverse-media screen and still be a business quietly running out of road. Clean is not safe.
So I built the Forensic Financial Report. A senior read of a subject's filed accounts, across several years, ending in a signed verdict.
It reads the same numbers three ways. As their client, you care about one thing: will they still be standing when you need them. As their counterparty, you care about another: who holds the leverage in this deal. Across the table, you care about a third: where is the strain, and what does it cost to press it.
Same accounts. Three questions. One file that answers all three.
It runs on the raw filed accounts the EDD already puts in your hands - the actual account PDFs and the underlying data, not a summary. That is what lets the read go this deep.
And it is only as good as the accounts behind it. If your subject files nothing public, you are told before any report work begins, and you are never charged for a report we cannot produce. The analyst who tells you when not to buy is the one you trust when he says buy.
