Years of experience in Brazil and work with international clients provide the basis for the collection and reporting of accurate and actionable intelligence and analysis on political, economic and security issues, as well as on commercial issues (e.g. anti-dumping or countervailing duties) and on specific industry sectors.

CCI complements the financial and legal due diligence carried out by the large accountancy and law firms with due diligence work into aspects such as hidden criminal or political connections, possible FCPA violations, management style, governance issues, hidden assets or liabilities, and other such discreet matters which the legal and accountancy firms do not or cannot normally cover.

Prevention is always preferable to reaction. CCI provides in-house staff training and advice to companies to improve their fraud prevention controls as well as the ability to investigate and handle fraud when it occurs.

If the company has been the victim of internal and/or external fraud, violation of intellectual property rights, trademarks, or patents, CCI will discreetly investigate the incident and coordinate with corporate legal counsel in its efforts to recover the assets lost and/or seek redress for damages incurred.

CCI works with clients’ legal counsel to provide support or information and actionable intelligence that can be vital in litigation involving the client.

CCI helps companies plan for and manage a range of possible crisis situations, such as product contamination, product counterfeiting, industrial accidents, kidnapping and product liability issues, whilst simultaneously maintaining normal business operations. CCI also provides in-house training and crisis simulation exercises to develop crisis handling skills.

CCI works with clients to develop complete corporate security strategies, conduct office, plant and residential security reviews, provide corporate and individual security awareness training, give advice on non-IT information security, conduct executive protection services, and carry out electronic counter-surveillance measures.

CCI can also help senior management solve high level, delicate problems, ranging, for example, from extortion by former or current employees or third parties, to board room information leaks, or dealing with corruption and bribery attempts.
