CHECKS AND DESCRIPTIONS
CRIMINALITY CHECK:

A criminality check, also known as a criminal record check or police check, is a process used to determine if an individual has been charged with or convicted of a crime. This is a common and critical part of a comprehensive background check, especially for employment, volunteering, or securing certain licenses.

COMPLIANCE CHECK:

A compliance check is a detailed review to ensure that an individual, organization, or a specific process adheres to a set of rules, regulations, standards, or laws. The purpose is to verify that all actions and operations are in alignment with established guidelines to prevent legal issues, financial penalties, and reputational damage.

BANKRUPTCY CHECK:

A bankruptcy check is a type of background check that screens an individual’s financial history to determine if they have been declared bankrupt. This check is crucial for employers, especially for roles that involve handling company finances, managing sensitive financial data, or holding positions of significant trust. It helps to assess a candidate’s financial responsibility and reliability.

BUSINESS INTEREST CHECK:

A business interest check is a specialized background screening service that identifies any directorships, shareholdings, or business ownerships an individual has in other companies. The primary goal is to uncover potential conflicts of interest that could arise if an employee’s personal business ventures compete with or otherwise compromise the interests of their employer.

CIVIL LITIGATION CHECK:

A civil litigation check is a type of background screening that investigates an individual’s involvement in non-criminal legal proceedings. Unlike a criminality check, which focuses on offenses against the state, a civil litigation check looks for disputes between private parties, such as individuals, businesses, or organizations. The purpose is to uncover any legal history that could indicate potential risks, such as financial instability, a history of disputes, or a lack of integrity.

CREDIT CHECK:

A credit check is an evaluation of an individual’s financial history to assess their creditworthiness, or their ability to repay debts. Lenders, utility companies, landlords, and even some employers use credit checks to gauge the risk associated with lending money, offering a service, or hiring a candidate.

FINANCIAL REGULATORY CHECK:

A financial regulatory check is a specific type of background screening designed to verify a candidate’s history within the financial services sector. It is a critical component of due diligence for any company that operates in a regulated financial industry, such as banking, insurance, or capital markets.

IDENTITY VERIFICATION CHECK:

An identity verification check is a critical process used to confirm that an individual is who they claim to be. It is a fundamental step in preventing fraud, meeting regulatory requirements, and building trust in digital and in-person transactions. This check is a core component of “Know Your Customer” (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures in many industries, particularly in financial services.

DRIVING LICENSE VERIFICATION CHECK:

A driving license verification check is a process used to confirm the validity and status of an individual’s driver’s license. This is an essential part of background screening for any job that involves driving, such as delivery services, transportation, logistics, or even a role that requires an employee to operate a company vehicle. It is also important for insurance purposes and for ensuring an individual is legally allowed to drive.

IMMIGRATION CONTROL STATUS CHECK:

An immigration control status check is a crucial background screening service, particularly for companies that hire foreign nationals or for individuals who travel frequently. It is a process to verify an individual’s legal right to be in a country, their work or travel permit status, and whether they are subject to any travel restrictions.

INDUSTRIAL COURT CHECK:

An industrial court check is a background screening service that investigates a candidate’s history of legal disputes in the workplace, specifically those handled by the Industrial Court of Malaysia. This check is crucial for employers to identify any past or ongoing cases of employment-related litigation, which could indicate a history of workplace conflict, disputes, or non-compliance with labor laws.

INTERPOL SEARCH:

An Interpol search is a specialized and highly complex background check that is not typically available to the public or private employers. Interpol, the International Criminal Police Organization, is an intergovernmental organization that facilitates international police cooperation. Its primary function is to help national police forces work together to combat transnational crime.

LOCAL ADVERSE MEDIA SEARCH:

A Local Adverse Media Search is a crucial background screening and due diligence process that involves scanning local news, media, and other public sources for any negative or adverse information about an individual or entity. This type of check goes beyond official government and regulatory databases, providing a more comprehensive view of potential risks, such as reputational damage, financial misconduct, or criminal association.

GLOBAL ADVERSE MEDIA SEARCH:

A global adverse media search is a systematic and comprehensive process of screening and monitoring individuals or businesses for any negative or adverse information found in publicly available sources worldwide. This goes far beyond a simple local search, leveraging vast datasets from a wide range of international media and information sources. It is a critical component of modern Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), and third-party risk management programs, designed to identify potential risks that may not be apparent from traditional database checks alone.

EDUCATION CREDENTIAL CHECKS:

An education credential check is a type of background verification used to confirm the accuracy of a person’s academic qualifications. It’s a critical step in the hiring process for many employers to ensure that a candidate’s claims about their education are truthful and that they meet the necessary requirements for a job.

EMPLOYMENT CHECKS:

Employment checks, also known as pre-employment screening or background checks, are a process employers use to verify the information a candidate provides during the hiring process. The main goal is to confirm that an applicant is trustworthy and qualified for a position. These checks help employers make informed hiring decisions, ensure a safe workplace, and protect the company’s reputation.

PROFESSIONAL REFERENCE QUESTIONNAIRES CHECK:

A professional reference questionnaire is a set of standardized questions an employer uses to contact a candidate’s references to verify information and gain deeper insight into their work performance, skills, and behavior. These questionnaires help employers make more informed hiring decisions by moving beyond what a candidate says in an interview to what a former supervisor or colleague can attest to.
