Has Due diligence - bank requesting copy invoices

Due diligence - bank requesting copy invoices

Didn't find your answer?

Our bank has asked me to provide copy invoices and documentation for many receipts and payment made / received over the past year, and to provide the reasons for making a range of payments including suppliers and salary payments to employees. I am interested to know if  this is a common request because I have never had to provide this information before?

Many thanks

I've never heard of this.

Have you asked what business it is of theirs ? They could have a good reason.

If this is 'your' bank, it sounds to me like you are under some kind of 'special measures' or 'business support'.

Is the company in difficulty?

Have you confirmed there is no possibility of this being a scam?

Hello , thank you for your feedback. We are not under special measures and we do not factor our invoices. The "audit" is referred to as enhanced due diligence. The bank is a European bank and I suspect the exercise may be due to the restructuring of the bank in preparation for Brexit.
