About Audere
Combining confidentiality, objectivity and integrity with analytical thinking.
Audere is a specialist commercial intelligence and investigations company, headquartered in London with expertise across the Middle East, Africa, Russia, CEE, Central Asia and the Asia Pacific region, as well as the UK and North America.
We source and analyse hitherto undisclosed information and intelligence about individuals and companies to support our clients during commercial negotiations, in dispute resolution and to identify risks when investing overseas, whether prior to market entry, during the life of an investment, or at exit when certain contingent or hidden liabilities might be triggered.
Cross-border M&A transactions are a particular area of focus.
What Differentiates Us?
Source Network
Our biggest asset is the quality of our intelligence network.
We have unique sources in the offshore financial world, governments and the security services; and others with access to industry-specific insights.
We have cultivated long-standing, well-tested, trusted relationships across multiple jurisdictions.
Ultimately, our coverage reflects the needs of our Clients which requires us to be versatile and adaptable in utilising our global network.
Emerging Markets
Audere has over 20 years’ experience of operating in frontier and emerging markets.
The biggest challenge is sourcing independent and objective intelligence. This includes separating out the vested interests of individuals and local entities.
Local ‘insights’ can often be too partisan and our operatives are adept at triangulating information to establish the real facts.
Transparency
Audere’s methodology, objectives and timelines are developed to reflect the bespoke needs of each client.
We are committed to ensuring open lines of communication with our clients, developing our approach to align with their requirements and expectations whilst maintaining the highest ethical standards.
Analysis
Our house style is to produce competitively priced reports known for brevity and strong analytics. We do not regurgitate publicly available information.
Audere goes beyond database-generated research, instead triangulating data points, cross examining sources and contextualising local politics against the self-interest and commercial bias of third parties.
Our research analysts and Case Managers are experienced at methodically examining information and intelligence and asking the question ‘So What?’ before analysing it from multiple angles.

Why Us?
It’s what you don’t know that affects your business and reputation. Our critical, timely intelligence fills the gaps so you can take informed risk-based decisions.
We uncover backgrounds and the facts which otherwise remain hidden, investigate and trace assets in foreign and complex jurisdictions.

Our Values
-
Accountability
We analyse source intelligence with diligence, and we question and triangulate our research so we can stand behind it. -
Boldness
Audere signifies to venture, to dare, and to risk. With the right resources, skills, and determination, our team is prepared to test unchartered territory and ask difficult questions. -
Creativity
We use imagination to approach problems; think outside the box; find ways around issues - both in terms of the objective of the investigation and in the intelligence gathering and we deliver clear, penetrating insights to help clients make informed decisions. -
Commerciality
We are commercially minded and pro-transaction, not trying to be the unwieldy deal-stopper on behalf of tick-box compliance departments. We want to be part of successful client transactions. Equally, we will go the extra mile to protect a client’s commercial interests and reputation. -
Integrity
We are committed to upholding the highest standards and practices, taking ownership of our work and responsibility for our advice. -
Receptivity
Our team places emphasis on listening and absorbing critical information. As the ears and eyes of our clients, we are vigilant and supple in the way we respond to our environment. This enables us to be at the right place, at the right time, to identify the right subject. -
Trust
We instil trust amongst one another and with our clients by being honest, managing expectations and protecting sensitive information. -
Quality
We pride ourselves on our unique source network, our analysis and our deliverables. Reports are concise, clearly presented and our analysis anticipates the inevitable client question ‘So what?’
