Understanding who owns and controls a business can be one of the most demanding parts of due diligence. Complex ownership structures require careful investigation, and compliance teams need more than an answer: they need evidence they can review, challenge and explain.
Altery partnered with Vivox AI to support this work with explainable AI. In our video case study, Bisi Giwa shares how the team uses the technology to investigate complex ownership structures, find answers faster and retain a clear audit trail.
From hours to minutes
“We’ve transitioned from hours to minutes and spend far less time digging for answers,” says Bisi.
Vivox AI helps the team make sense of complex ownership structures, reducing the time spent gathering and interpreting information. This supports investigations while keeping responsibility for the final assessment with Altery’s compliance professionals.
Explainability and evidence
For Altery, the value of AI extends beyond speed. The team needs to understand the outputs and evidence the work behind its decisions.
“Without the audit trail, you have nothing really. If you’re not able to evidence what you’ve done, then you haven’t done it,” Bisi explains.
Explainable outputs and a clear audit trail support that requirement, giving the team a basis for reviewing findings and documenting its assessments.
Human judgement remains central
“Human judgement remains essential: we review the outputs and make the decisions.”
Altery’s experience shows how AI can support due diligence in practice: helping professionals work through complexity more efficiently while preserving human oversight and accountability.
