Employment Screening
Employee screening is a process that helps to ensure that the right people are hired for the right job. In fact, it's a critical part of any hiring process and should be done by every business regardless of its size or industry. The benefits of employee screening include:
Reduced turnover
Improved productivity and quality control
Reduced exposure to legal and financial risks
Financial Screening
Financial screening is a method of verifying information about a person's income, assets and credit history. This is done to determine if someone is a good credit risk, an acceptable tenant or an acceptable employee. A financial report contains information about any debts the person may owe, as well as any assets that he or she owns.
Financial reports are also used for determining whether someone should be approved for certain types of loans or mortgages. In South Africa, lenders use credit bureaux to pull up this type of report from people who have applied for loans in the past 30 days.

Fraud
Theft
Embezzlement
Money laundering cybercrime (online crimes) etc.

Home Affairs Document Checks
What is a document check?
A document check is a verification that the information provided by an applicant is accurate. It's usually performed when applying for a visa, work permit or residence permit.
Investigations - Surveillance - Lifestyle Pre-Selection.
A person or group of people who observe, record and analyze the behavior of others are called surveillance agents. Their goal is to gather information about their subject's behaviors, whereabouts and activities. Surveillance may be overt (where the subject knows he or she is being watched) or covert (where the subject has no knowledge they are being observed).
Surveillance can be conducted by law enforcement agencies in order to collect evidence related to an investigation. It can also include hiring private investigators (private detectives) to follow a person or organization for personal reasons such as when you suspect your spouse has been cheating on you.
The reason why private investigators use surveillance techniques is because it allows them access into what would otherwise be inaccessible areas that ordinary people can’t get into without attracting suspicion from bystanders or security guards monitoring them at all times during their foot missions across the globe from both inside out outside residential houses; office entrances/exits; public places like restaurants restaurants etcetera which require sitting down tables where people normally eat meals daily
International Screening (Overseas)
International Screening (Overseas)
International screening is a detailed investigation into the past and present of an individual, company, or organization.

In this section we will talk about all three terms as though they mean the same thing.
Legal Backgrounds - Litigation, Trusts, Deceased Estates, Curator bonis, Insolvencies, etc.
In South Africa, a legal background investigation is used to determine whether a person is suitable to be appointed as a trustee, curator bonis or executor. Legal background investigations are also conducted in order to determine whether a person is suitable to be appointed as a guardian of minors or incapacitated persons.
A professional with experience in conducting legal background checks will be able to ensure that all relevant information about the subject has been collected and analysed for any potential red flags. It's important for employers and clients alike that they have access to reliable information about their staff members or employees before hiring them; this information could include past convictions or pending criminal cases against them (such as harassment charges).
