Managing the risks that aren't on the balance sheet
Non-financial risk covers everything that can hurt an organisation without starting as a market, credit or liquidity problem: the conduct of employees and third parties, fraud and corruption, sanctions and financial crime, reputation, and the safety of people and premises.
Most organisations have a framework for these risks. Where they struggle is evidence: suppliers and agents who self-declare their owners, hires whose credentials are never checked, and allegations that are never properly investigated.
VERIS supplies that evidence. We don't replace your risk or compliance function; we give it verified findings it can act on and defend.

Six non-financial risks we help manage
Each service can stand alone or feed a single third-party or enterprise risk programme.
Vendors, agents & distributors
Registration, real owners, litigation, sanctions and reputation before onboarding. See vendor screening.
Hiring & insider risk
Identity, education, employment and integrity checks on candidates and staff, on their consent. See pre-employment screening.
Internal investigations
Independent, confidential investigation of suspected fraud, conflicts of interest and misconduct. See employee fraud.
KYC, sanctions & PEP
Customer and counterparty checks, sanctions and politically exposed persons, and enhanced due diligence. See KYC verification.
Counterparties & partners
Reputational and integrity due diligence on the people and companies you are associated with. See reputational due diligence.
People, sites & travel
Threat and security assessments for offices, sites, events and travel. See threat & security assessments.
From risk register to verified findings
Identify
We agree which third parties, people or sites carry the highest non-financial risk, and the depth of check each needs.
Verify
Checks and enquiries are carried out against primary sources and, where needed, on the ground.
Report & monitor
Findings are reported for your decision, with re-checks scheduled for higher-risk relationships.

Casework, in brief
Beneficial ownership before signing
Identified politically exposed beneficial ownership and licensing issues involving a government intermediary, before the transaction proceeded.
Conflicts of interest substantiated
Substantiated conflicts of interest and conduct that would have created serious governance risk.
On-site enquiries, multiple locations
On-site enquiries across multiple locations exposed inconsistencies in operational scale and licensing.
Source-of-wealth gaps surfaced
Surfaced source-of-wealth gaps and political exposure that reshaped the client's risk decision.
Selected VERIS casework, as published on our reputational due diligence page. Client identities anonymised.
Reports separate verified facts from reported information, allegations and source commentary, and show the source behind every finding.
VERIS reports objectively and without advocacy, aligned with your internal policies and regulatory obligations. We act independently of transactions, investments and commercial negotiations: our role is to identify, analyse and report information, not to advocate outcomes or give legal, financial or investment advice.
Often part of a bigger picture
Non-financial risk management draws on the VERIS screening, due diligence, investigations and security practices.
What clients ask before engaging
What is non-financial risk management?
Managing risks that don't start as market, credit or liquidity problems: third-party, people, fraud, conduct, financial crime, reputational and security risk.
What are examples of non-financial risks?
A supplier secretly owned by an employee, a hire with a false degree, a distributor paying bribes, a sanctioned counterparty, an internal fraud, or a security incident at a site or event.
Does VERIS build our risk framework?
No. We work within your existing framework and supply the checks, investigations and assessments that give it verified evidence.
Can you check third parties in bulk?
Yes. Vendor and counterparty checks can run as a programme, with depth set by risk tier and progress visible in VERISChecks.
Do you re-check existing suppliers and partners?
Yes. Higher-risk relationships can be re-checked on a schedule you set, or when something changes.
Which countries do you cover?
VERIS operates directly in Indonesia and Singapore, with casework across 30 jurisdictions in Asia-Pacific.
