Enhanced Due Diligence

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) reports provide a deeper layer of verification and investigation for higher-risk clients or transactions. Simplified.ID helps organisations identify potential risks before they become liabilities — offering detailed reporting to support full AML, ABC, and ESG compliance. EDD checks are critical when working with politically exposed persons (PEPs), overseas entities, or businesses in high-risk industries. Our platform delivers structured, evidence-based reports that enable you to assess client risk confidently and make informed decisions.

EDD Details

What is Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)?

EDD gives compliance teams and onboarding professionals access to verified data sources, providing deeper insights into ownership, structure, reputation, and financial performance. Simplified.ID’s enhanced reporting supports AML, CFT, and ESG requirements, empowering businesses to confidently evaluate client risk.

Through Simplified.ID’s platform, users can review multiple risk factors, verify business relationships, and obtain structured reports that include global sanctions, media screening, financial analysis, and jurisdictional background checks — helping organisations make faster, smarter decisions.

How EDD Reporting Works

Simplified.ID’s platform gathers verified data from global registries, sanctions lists, adverse media, and financial intelligence sources. Each report combines verified identification, PEP and sanctions screening, financial analysis, and corporate link tracing to give a clear view of potential risk.
