Financial Investigative Services

DISA’s Financial Investigative Services (FIS) division provides in-depth background investigations on individuals and companies extending beyond the initial areas of a client request. Typically, background checks will rely on database resources to obtain an individual's information; however, with FIS, searches are performed in the courthouse utilizing private investigators, abstractors, and paralegals. Through our preliminary investigations alone, we uncover information regarding where an individual has lived, current and prior business affiliations, and ultimately make additional search suggestions as warranted. FIS investigations extend past the employment screening world, covering a wide variety of industries, including real estate investment, private equity funds, hedge fund investors, franchises, and other financial entities.   DISA assists our clients in determining the risk and creditworthiness of an individual from the investment perspective.

Our in-depth courthouse and database investigations are customizable to meet the needs of both the client and their business. When an FIS search is requested, a dedicated research team is assigned to each investigation to navigate the process from start to finish. Additionally, our reports are in an easy-to-read format containing a general overview, a more detailed breakdown of investigative findings, and any necessary supporting documentation.

DISA’s FIS division offers even more on the county/state, federal, and nationwide database level, such as:

• Criminal Records
• Civil Records Bankruptcy
• Judgments
• Tax Liens
• Officer & Director Affiliations
• Sanctions
• Regulatory Licensing and Violations
• Media Search – Local & National Publications
• Social Media Screening
• Credit Report (Individual/Business)

DISA’s objective is to identify risks associated with companies as part of the due diligence process. Our research focuses on revealing problems with corporate governance, sanctions, negative media, litigation, and bankruptcy.  We also uncover mergers and name changes for a company along with their officers and directors that could have a liability stake. Through our investigations, we uncover if anything of a derogatory nature has been filed against the individuals or their businesses.
