If you are considering a person, relationship, company, transaction or document connected with Ukraine, you may not always know what can actually be checked or where to begin. Below are answers to common questions about INTLCO Matters services, verification requests and legal review.
INTLCO Matters provides independent verification and legal review services for international clients dealing with matters connected with Ukraine. Depending on the circumstances, a request may concern a person, relationship, company, transaction, document or a situation involving information that requires independent examination.
No. You can begin by explaining what is happening and what you are trying to establish. We can then determine whether the matter is primarily related to people, relationships, companies, transactions, documents or another type of inquiry.
Yes, where the requested information can be lawfully and practically examined. The scope may include relevant identity information, professional claims, business connections, online presence, public information and other details that are directly relevant to the purpose of the verification. The exact checks depend on the circumstances and information available.
Yes. Online dating verification can focus on relevant information presented by the person, including profile details, photographs, personal claims, professional information, location and other circumstances that may be important to you. The purpose is to help you establish which relevant information can be independently supported.
A profile itself does not always provide enough information to establish who is behind it. A review can examine relevant profile information and compare it with other available information to identify supporting details, discrepancies or issues requiring further clarification. A verification cannot guarantee the future behavior or intentions of another person.
Photographs can form part of a verification request. Depending on the circumstances, images may be reviewed for potential reuse, inconsistencies or other indications that justify additional examination. Photo analysis is considered together with other relevant information rather than treated as conclusive evidence on its own.
Yes. Where professional information is relevant and can be independently examined, we can review claims concerning employment, occupation, position, qualifications or professional experience. The objective is to determine whether the available information supports the specific claim being examined.
Where relevant information is available, we can examine connections between an individual and companies, organizations or commercial activities. This may be particularly useful when someone presents themselves as a business owner, company representative, director, consultant or intermediary.
Yes. Company verification can examine relevant corporate information, including company identity, management, ownership, business activity, company history and available legal information. The scope is determined by what you need to establish about the company.
Yes. In appropriate cases, company verification can be combined with examination of relevant information concerning directors, founders, representatives, shareholders or other connected individuals. This can be useful when the identity or authority of a person is important to a proposed business relationship.
Yes. A business partner review can examine relevant information about the company and, where appropriate, the individuals behind the proposed relationship. Depending on the assignment, this may include corporate information, ownership, management, business activity, legal information and other relevant factors.
Yes. A transaction review can examine the parties involved, supporting documents, payment arrangements, authority to act and other circumstances relevant to the proposed transaction. This can be particularly useful before making a substantial payment or entering an important commercial arrangement.
Yes. Relevant documents may include contracts, powers of attorney, corporate documents, financial documents and other materials connected with the matter. A review can focus on the information contained in the document, its legal provisions and consistency with other relevant information.
Document review and authenticity verification are not always the same thing. Some documents can be examined for apparent inconsistencies or compared with available information, but definitive authentication may require confirmation from the issuing authority or another appropriate source. We will distinguish between what can actually be established and what cannot be independently confirmed.
This is one of the situations where an independent review can be useful. Different names, dates, occupations, locations, company details or explanations may create legitimate questions. An inconsistency does not automatically prove deception, but it may indicate that additional information should be examined.
We can examine relevant information connected with a suspected scam or potentially misleading situation. Depending on the circumstances, this may involve a person, online relationship, financial request, company, documents or transaction. The available evidence can then be considered to identify relevant facts, inconsistencies and potential legal issues.
Yes, where the circumstances are appropriate for verification. The review may consider the person, the stated reason for the request, supporting information and other relevant circumstances. This can help you distinguish between information that can be supported and information that remains unconfirmed.
No. Verification is not a guarantee about a person's intentions or future conduct. The purpose is to establish relevant information, identify inconsistencies and highlight circumstances that may require attention. Any conclusion should be based on the available evidence rather than a single warning sign.
No. A verification can only address the information and scope examined. A person or company may have a legitimate identity and still present contractual, financial or other risks. This is why legal review may be appropriate when the decision involves significant obligations or commitments.
Verification focuses primarily on establishing relevant information.
Legal review focuses on the legal meaning and consequences of a situation, document, transaction or relationship.
The two services can be used independently or together when the circumstances require both.
Yes. A contract review can identify important obligations, restrictions, conditions and provisions that may affect your position. It can be particularly useful when the other party is located in Ukraine or the agreement concerns a Ukrainian individual or company.
Yes. A Power of Attorney can grant another person significant authority. A legal review can examine the scope of that authority and identify provisions that deserve particular attention before the document is signed or used.
Yes. If you are preparing to make a significant payment, relevant verification and legal review may be possible before the transaction takes place. The appropriate scope depends on who will receive the funds, why the payment is being made and what documents or information support the arrangement.
Start with whatever information you already have.This may include:
person's name,
company name,
online profile,
photographs,
website,
documents,
correspondence,
payment details,
professional information,
description of the situation.
Most importantly, explain what you need to establish.
No. You can begin with a concise description of the situation and the information directly relevant to your question. If additional material is needed to define the assignment, we can identify what would be useful.
The scope is based on the question you need answered. A simple identity-related question may require a limited review. A complex situation involving a person, company, financial request and documents may require several verification areas to be considered together. The aim is to avoid unnecessary checks and concentrate on relevant information.
The outcome depends on the service and scope. The assessment may identify information that is supported, information that could not be confirmed, material inconsistencies and issues that may require additional attention. Where legal review forms part of the assignment, the relevant legal considerations can also be addressed.
No. An independent service should report what the available information supports rather than promise a predetermined conclusion. Some information may be confirmed, some may remain uncertain and some may require further investigation.
No. Access to information varies depending on the type of record, applicable law and the circumstances of the request. A responsible verification should clearly distinguish between information that can be independently established and information that is unavailable.
Requests may involve personal, financial or commercially sensitive information. INTLCO Matters approaches enquiries with discretion and limits the review to information relevant to the agreed purpose and appropriate sources. Specific confidentiality arrangements can be discussed where required.
Yes. Some situations naturally involve more than one area. For example, you may need to verify a company, examine its representative, review the proposed contract and consider the legal implications of the transaction. The relevant services can be structured around the circumstances of the matter.
No. An independent service should report what the available information supports rather than promise a predetermined conclusion. Some information may be confirmed, some may remain uncertain and some may require further investigation.
That is not a problem. Some clients contact us because they have a specific question. Others simply know that something does not make sense. Explain what you know, what you have been told and what concerns you. We can help identify the appropriate direction for the review.
The first step is simply to describe the situation. Tell us who or what is involved, what information you already have and what you need to establish before making your decision. From there, the appropriate verification or legal review can be determined.
You do not have to identify the correct service before contacting INTLCO Matters. Start with the facts and the question that matters to you.
