We recognize the increasingly difficult issues facing our clients in such areas as corporate fraud, disputes, criminal matters, and civil litigation. Our approach combines investigators, forensic accountants and digital forensic professionals into a comprehensive platform capable of confronting any challenge.

Corporate investigations, preparation for regulatory or government inquires, dispute resolution and litigation support are highly complex and go well beyond routine fact finding and evidence gathering.

Our involvement in cryptocurrency investigations primarily involves blockchain forensics procedures, to connect cryptocurrency transactions to real-world entities, including illicit services such as darknet markets, scams, hacks, and ransomware. This enables Renaissance to identify historical counterparties and risk exposure, and then monitor future transactions for all related wallet addresses. Renaissance also has digital forensics capabilities to collect and examine data from devices such as computers, mobile devices or other hardware.

Background Investigations & Corporate Due Diligence

Investigative research has grown in complexity and scope, given the shift toward a highly mobile society and the advent of a vast universe of Internet references and social media sites. Applying investigative proficiency and a highly targeted, systematic review of digital media, Internet data, social media, and public records, Renaissance Associates conducts far-reaching background examinations in support of litigations and corporate investigations. Renaissance Associates’ highly specialized analysts use Internet search techniques and comprehensive third-party database queries of unparalleled scope and detail for each subject. This methodology is applied in background examinations of individuals, corporate due diligence, asset location and verification and pre-employment background screenings.

More than just a basic background check, Renaissance Associates’ background investigation and corporate due diligence products are designed to provide decision makers with a holistic understanding of a subject’s patterns of behavior, reliability, and relationships of interest. Developed through combined decades spent in support of government and commercial requirements, Renaissance Associates’ methodology is specifically designed to identify information of significance across the spectrum of source materials and are used to create reporting that serves as a perfect complement to Renaissance Associates’ broader range of services while also serving as an industry-leading standalone product.
