Frequently Asked Questions about Adverse Media

What is Adverse Media ?

Adverse media is unfavourable news or information reported across a range of media sources. These are traditional newspapers and news outlets, but in the modern age also social media, press releases, and blogs. Adverse media checks help uncover suspected links to criminal activity and money laundering. 

What is classed as Adverse Media?

The news topics classed as adverse, in a business context, are:

  • Suspected/confirmed money laundering activity
  • Suspected/confirmed terrorism financing activity
  • Suspected/confirmed terrorism inks
  • Suspected/confirmed organised crime links
  • Suspected/confirmed fraudulent activity
  • Political links
  • Poor reputation
What are Adverse Media Checks

Adverse media checks are part of the due diligence process. Whilst it is possible to perform a cursory adverse media check manually, this is inadvisable as the number of articles and media sources an individual can check is limited and they will almost certainly miss some information.

Digital adverse media checks, such as the ones on Red Flag Alert, are advanced, AI-driven processes; where millions of media stories are checked for references to the subject of the search. Any that are found and classed as adverse are then flagged and a decision can be made as to whether to do business together.
