Practical significance
The term is often used as a synonym for corporate intelligence, although classically it refers to work with an organization's internal data. When defining a task, it is important to clarify what is meant - analysis of one's own data or an external check.
Where it is used
- analysis of operational and market data
- identification of anomalies in transactions
- assessment of counterparty performance
- preparation of management decisions
What the term does not mean
This is not a check of a specific person or company: it is work with data, not the establishment of facts about participants.
