In the wake of the ongoing Petrobras scandal, conducting effective third-party due diligence in Brazil has become even more important, but local customs and peculiarities can make it difficult for those not familiar with the area. The Anti-Corruption Report recently discussed diligence strategies with Snežana Gebauer, executive managing director and head of the U.S. Investigations and Disputes practice at K2 Intelligence. Gebauer discussed how to conduct a risk analysis, the challenges of gathering public information in Brazil, the importance of human intelligence and more. See our three-part series on in-house perspectives on third-party due diligence: “Right-Sizing and Risk Ranking” (May 24, 2017); “Information Gathering” (Jun. 7, 2017); and “Red Flags and Follow-Up” (Jun. 21, 2017).
