JPR&C

Merger and acquisition (M&A) means consolidating companies or assets to accelerate growth and gain competitive advantages. However, proper due diligence is essential while preparing for M&A transactions to avoid compliance, financial, and business risks.

This is where JPR&C steps in with extensive experience in risk due diligence on the subjects regarding M&A.

The Japanese intelligence company is driven by the mission to provide clients with the right information that helps them make accurate business decisions to be successful. The company goes beyond just identifying compliance issues, including money laundering, corruption (FCPA), and links with anti-social organisations in relation to M&A target companies; it runs analysis from the perspective of geopolitical risks, including economic security and human rights issues.

JPR&C’s biggest differentiator is its OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) and HUMINT (Human Intelligence) capabilities. It uses cutting-edge tools, a vast database based on more than 7,000 domestic and international investigations that to date, and a global human network, to collect strategic information and evidence from various sources.

“Our strength lies in our high level of research and analysis capability. We utilize specific databases and a variety of OSINT tools to ensure optimum outcomes for clients. Also, our global intelligence network plays a vital role in meeting complex and sophisticated client needs. All these factors, along with the reputation for consulting capabilities, have made us the trusted partner for clients,” says Keisuke Furuno, founder, JPR&C.

JPR&C’s dedication to client success has enabled it to serve numerous listed companies. For example, a Japanese-affiliated manufacturer was proceeding for a capital and business alliance with an organization based in a South East Asian country. They requested JPR&C to conduct due diligence focusing on the risk of the organisation being subject to economic sanctions.

After detailed examination, JPR&C identified that the relative of a key person in this organization is highly influential and that the relative is Politically Exposed Person (PEP) with a military background. To predict the likelihood that the organization and the relative would be subject to economic sanctions, JPR&C collected public and human intelligence information in South-East Asia counties from a variety of perspectives. To further improve the accuracy of predictions, it used U.S. human networks to get a sense from officials in Washington.

This is just one example; JPR&C has a track record of conducting 600-700 investigations a year. The company’s team of experienced professionals makes a significant contribution to this success. They accumulate information from every possible source and ensure a report undergoes two to three layers of review process before presenting it to clients.

The JPR&C team also pays great attention to accurately understanding client needs and designing the best possible investigation scope and methodology. They discuss the investigation results with the clients at the investigation results meeting to explain all the crucial details. As a result, clients can always make the best decision.

With a commitment to quality and attention to detail, JPR&C has already turned into a leader in this space. In the coming years, the company will explore more avenues to ensure the success of every project.
