Make financial crime harder to hide.
Altira gives institutions the risk intelligence to investigate the people and companies they do business with. We put AI to work on the research, so teams can uncover material risks, assess more relationships and act on the evidence.
The cost of getting due diligence wrong.
A missed sanctions match, an undisclosed business connection or adverse information left unexplored can expose a firm to regulatory penalties and reputational harm.
The warning signs may sit in different watchlists, filings, enforcement records and news reports. Altira brings that evidence into the investigation so teams can assess the relationship and decide what requires action.
Investigation at any scale.
Investigate more people and companies with the team you have.
Follow the connections.
Altira researches company filings, enforcement records and news coverage to find the business interests and relationships relevant to an investigation. Findings link back to their sources.
Know who you’re doing business with.
Screen people and companies against sanctions lists and watchlists, then investigate their background, business connections and regulatory history. Monitoring continues the sanctions and watchlist checks after a relationship begins, bringing new potential matches back for review.
Work the case together.
Keep findings, documents and open questions in a shared Case. Colleagues can follow the evidence, build on each other’s work and pick up an investigation where someone left off. Your team makes the final judgment.
Beyond financial crime.
Assess the people behind an investment, understand a competitor’s direction or develop an investigative lead.
Investment due diligence
Investigate the founders and management team of a prospective portfolio company. Examine prior ventures, outside business interests and regulatory history to assess management integrity and identify issues to resolve before committing capital.
Competitive intelligence
Assess a competitor’s direction through its acquisitions, leadership changes and commercial partnerships. Connect the public evidence to understand where it is expanding, what capabilities it is adding and what that means for your strategy.
Investigations
Trace a subject’s business interests, establish a chronology and corroborate or challenge an allegation. Keep the supporting records and open questions in a shared Case so investigators can develop leads together.
