A due diligence questionnaire (DDQ) is a comprehensive set of questions designed to gather information and assess the potential risks associated with engaging third-party vendors, suppliers, intermediaries, or partners. DDQs are typically used as part of the due diligence process to gather information via direct engagement with third parties to evaluate the suitability, reliability, and compliance before entering into a business relationship, and as required throughout the engagement.
A due diligence questionnaire can cover a broad range of areas depending on what risk the client is looking to assess, their reporting requirements or the information that they require to onboard the third party. This may include but is not limited to, organisational structure, regulatory compliance and controls, integrity practices, operational procedures, quality control, environmental practices, data security measures, insurance coverage, previous litigation or disputes, references, supporting documentation etc. The specific questions should be tailored to the nature of the business relationship and the industry involved.
Due diligence questionnaires streamline the due diligence process by providing a structured approach to gathering and reporting on information. They help standardise the evaluation process, ensure consistent data collection, enable efficient comparison between potential vendors or partners, provide a basis for risk assessment and decision-making and where relevant (such as in the case of Modern Slavery reporting requirements) facilitate mandated annual reporting on supply chain risk assessment.
Yes, due diligence questionnaires can be customised based on the specific requirements of risk area, regulation or organization. It’s important to tailor the questions to address the specific risks and compliance needs relevant to the business, ensuring the questionnaire captures the necessary information to make informed decisions.
