Enhanced due diligence (EDD) refers to a deeper level of examination and scrutiny conducted on individuals, organisations, or entities who usually present a higher level of risk or complexity. It goes beyond basic due diligence procedures to gather more comprehensive and detailed information in order to assess potential risks,uncover any suspicious activities and evaluate reputation. Enhanced Due Diligence should be performed by trained and experienced analysts and is most often performed utilizing open source methodologies though source information may not be easily accessible. Where dealing with foreign entities it is also important that the research is performed by native speakers.
Enhanced due diligence is typically employed in situations where standard screening uncovers initial risks or may not provide sufficient insight into the involved parties, in high value transactions or where the risk of “getting it wrong” is significant to the client and/or where it is difficult for the client to obtain the required information due to a lack of transparency or language barriers. This could include scenarios such as high-value transactions, jurisdictions with a high risk of corruption, or industries prone to financial crime, in large deal transactions or in relation to initial public offerings (IPOs). Enhanced due diligence may also be used when dealing with third parties who interact with government officials.
Through enhanced due diligence, additional data is collected from reputable publicly available sources such as regulatory filings, media reports, government databases, and specialised risk intelligence platforms. In some high-risk jurisdictions, this information may not be digitized and available online. This information is thoroughly analysed, allowing for a more accurate assessment of potential risks, reputational concerns, regulatory compliance, and the overall suitability of engaging with the subject in question. Discreet inquires as to the reputation of the subject or subjects may also be performed depending on the level of Enhanced Due Diligence deployed.
The purpose of employing enhanced due diligence is to mitigate potential legal, financial, and reputational risks, and to ensure compliance with stringent regulations and standards.

More recently, the use enhanced due diligence has been expanded to cover emerging regulations around modern day slavery, human rights, and environmental con By conducting a more in-depth analysis of relevant information, organisations can make informed decisions regarding their business relationships and protect themselves from potential adverse consequences
