Adverse Media Screening

Clearvett’s Adverse Media check covers fraud, bribery, tax evasion and other financial crime. It combines UK press coverage and OCCRP investigations with official records from the SFO, CPS, NCA, police forces, HMRC (including its published list of deliberate tax defaulters), OFSI and the Charity Commission. Each finding sets out what was reported and links to its source, so reviewers can see the full story at a glance.

Our public conduct tools also picks up press reports of offensive or hateful remarks and employment tribunal decisions on discrimination. Only a criminal charge or conviction fails the check. Other outcomes, such as a dismissal or suspension, are shown for information, which gives a fuller picture of reputational risk without unfairly penalising the subject.

Every finding comes from a named source rather than an unexplained risk score, so reviewers can judge each one on its merits and record their decision as a true match or a false positive. The results are added to your audited PDF report with their sources, and the subject can be monitored so that new coverage is picked up as soon as it appears.
