Security checking – Background checking

The systems of security and background checking provide continuous and stable protection for the management of the company against the perpetration of various crimes.

Taking into account the structure, activity of the given company, monitoring plays an important role in prevention, determent from perpetrating a crime.

According to our experience, most of the perpetrators are junior or senior managers and those working in independent positions, and their crimes range from fraud through misappropriation to corruption, with which they cause significant financial, economic and commercial damage to their employer. Research shows that they typically cannot resist the temptations within two years after their appointment.

The background of the most severe abuses in Hungary includes the perpetrators’ desire for a luxurious lifestyle and the low temptation threshold, in addition to which they have the possibility to commit the abuse.

The results of the checking are valid only to the point of time checked; they record only the prevailing situation in that moment, and the process leading to it. The frequent routine of security checking therefore plays an important part in general prevention.

Basic background checks include:

• Name, address, identity card, driving licence and passport checking in the official Registration Databases
• Criminal record searching
• Family information
• Business interest searching (job or shares in companies)
• Media information

In addition to which, a complete background screening also includes:

• Checking of land registries involved by the subject
• Detailed information of the companies what the subject runs or / and owns
• The background of the subject’s business relationship
• Other special information tailored to the client’s requirement

The depth and methods of checking are individually tailored to the needs of the company based on the known circumstances of the person.
