Research Services on Individuals#Banned/Disqualified Person Search - individuals holding prudentially significant roles within the Australian authorised deposit-taking, general insurance and superannuation industries are subject to disqualification powers under various Insurance, Accounting, Bank & Financial Institutions legislation. DMS offers a comprehensive resource to check whether a person is disqualified, either as a specific 'Banned/Disqualified Person Search', or as part of the comprehensive 'Individual Commercial report'. - What is the 'Banned & Disqualified Persons Search'? There are four categories:
What is a 'Disqualified Person'? Such persons are those disqualified from managing corporations under the Corporations Act, where Government authorities receive express notice of the disqualification under the terms of that Act. There are other circumstances in which a person may be disqualified from managing corporations, for example where the person is an undischarged bankrupt, or has been convicted of certain offences involving dishonesty. This authority does not receive statutory notice of such disqualifications, and such data can only be obtained by requesting an additional search such as a 'Bankruptcy Search', or similar. For more information, please advise your needs to DMS and request assistance, or a Quote. # Enforceable Undertakings Searches - find out whether legislation has required the person to undertake not to take part in the management of a corporation, or carry on a financial services business. This is very important as such persons' names will not necessarily appear in other search results. # Bankruptcy Searches - a search of State Supreme Court and Federal Bankruptcy records to see if an individual has been, or is currently, bankrupt. Typical delivery in Australia is 1-2 days, but may be 7 days or longer in other countries. # Individual Commercial Reports - a 'composite report' offering a comprehensive overview of a person's capabilities from a commercial perspective. Content varies greatly from country to country, with a surprising 100+ countries still allowing reasonably extensive research without significant 'privacy' issues impacting the quality of research. Typical delivery is 4-6 days, but may be 10-14 in other countries. # Adverse (& other quick credit) Checks - available on individuals' commercial files. In Australia records show adverse information such as writs, defaults, summonses, etc, and who else has been checking the entity. Offered in 60+ countries, with more or less data depending on local regulations. Typically same day service, but may be 2-3 days in some countries. (a) Location (of Missing Person) - Click here for more information, &/or to obtain a Quote. (b) Skiptracing - an important element of cash-flow management is debt collection. However, if a person cannot be found, you may want to take the matter further, by commissioning 'Skip Tracing'. Missing debtors fall into two categories: - (a) those who have no idea that you are looking for them, and (b) those who don't want to be found. There are two types of person in (b): - (i) those who want to pay but cannot, and (ii) those who can pay, but won't.
# Electoral Roll Search - If it is more important to find a Subject's address and/or phone numbers, rather than obtain actual evidence the Subject is on the Electoral Roll, DMS recommend a National Databases Search, which provides more 'current' data and a higher 'hit rate' than the ERS. # White Pages Search - Capital City/Cities search of phone/address details of companies &/or Individuals. Same day service typically, extra day overseas. # National Directories Search - an exhaustive search, to your Brief. Can include Mobiles, Web sites, all Directories. Sounds easy, but Australia comprises 22m+ people scattered across 6 States and 2 Territories, which are spread over 3500 kms East-West, and 3000 North-South, twice the land mass of Europe - See Map Employment checks - freshly investigated: -# Education Verification - all too often we read of senior executives in large organisations (often Government Agencies) were employed under false pretences, not having the 'qualifications' claimed, having a demonstrably unattractive past employment history, or even a previous 'Employment Termination' or criminal record. Several options available in most countries. Typical delivery is 4-8 days. # Pre-Employment Checks - it is self-evident from our time in the Recruitment business that a worrying proportion of C.V.'s contain grossly exaggerated claims as to previous 'experience', previous 'responsibilities', &/or 'duties conducted'. This service is available in many countries. Typical delivery is 4-8 days. Sample Reports: -Below is a list of Australian Sample Company Reports for you to review.
