The eBook is the collection of a series of articles in which we will take a closer look at critical issues. It addresses the question of what you can do to prepare yourself at this early stage rather than wait till later in the year. ### Part 2 In Part Two of the Playbook, we’ll explore what preparatory actions you can take and how an effective risk management plan can be achieved and implemented through several services, including due diligence. Global integrity due diligence investigations provides your business with the critical information it needs to make sound decisions regarding mergers and acquisitions, strategic partnerships and selecting vendors and suppliers. The level of due diligence will ensure that working with a potential i.e. trade partner will achieve your organisation’s strategic and financial goals. Operating in the international market requires organisations to establish partnerships with numerous third parties, which supply raw materials, run business operations abroad and/or act as agents. At the same time, third parties are considered the most significant area of bribery risks for international enterprises. Under the Bribery Act 2010, British-based organisations must conduct due diligence on their third parties as the core principle of meeting the requirement of the adequate procedure.       [![Picture of Soraia Antunes](https://blog.crigroup.com/hubfs/Internal%20+%20Celebrations/Staff%20Members/Soraia%20Small.png)](https://blog.crigroup.com/corporate-investigations/author/soraia-antunes) #### Soraia Antunes Soraia is a Chief Marketing Officer, leading the advocacy for CRI® Group and ABAC® Center of Excellence on fraud investigations, risk management, compliance and anti-bribery anti-corruption.
