Screening the Principals While corporate screening verifies entity viability, principal screening examines the individuals who lead, own, and control the organization. Background investigations of executives, board members, and beneficial owners reveal personal integrity, professional history, criminal records, and potential conflicts of interest that could impact your business relationship.

Why Screen Principals?

Individual background checks uncover risks that corporate reports cannot detect. Personal bankruptcies, criminal histories, professional sanctions, and fraudulent activities committed by principals can jeopardize vendor performance and expose your organization to reputational, legal, and financial consequences. Comprehensive principal screening follows established due diligence best practices and internal investigation protocols to ensure FCRA compliance while protecting organizational interests.

Important Reference: Detailed methodologies for principal screening can be found in our Due Diligence Best Practices guide and Internal Investigations documentation.
