True Court Screening Solutions’ Politically Exposed Person (PEP) Search helps organizations identify individuals whose political exposure may present elevated reputational, regulatory, sanctions, or corruption related risk.
Whether evaluating a senior executive, investor, board member, business partner, acquisition target, or key stakeholder, PEP screening provides additional visibility into relationships and affiliations that may warrant enhanced review as part of a broader due diligence process.
A Politically Exposed Person is an individual who currently holds, or previously held, a prominent public position, including government leadership, senior political roles, judicial or military positions, or leadership within state affiliated organizations. In some cases, exposure may also extend to close associates or family members.
Importantly, a PEP result does not indicate wrongdoing. Rather, it provides organizations with greater awareness of potential risk factors that may require additional context or consideration before important business decisions are made.
Common Use Cases
PEP screening is commonly utilized for:
• Executive and key person due diligence
