SPACs202: 对SPAC中董事和高级职员进行背景调查的最佳方法
SPAC后的新董事和高级管理人员需要进行哪些尽职调查或背景调查？SPAC发起人有责任考虑哪些风险？ 这需要按情况来考虑。 I-OnAsia是一家调查咨询公司，为代表发行人，保荐人，金融机构和为投资者工作的律师事务所和会计公司提供背景调查的服务。 我们寻找运营和声誉风险：欺诈或腐败或不良历史记录。 我们的团队专门从事国际调查，包括许多涉及SPAC的中美交易。 作为我们正在推出的有关SPAC的系列文章的一部分，在此文章中，我们将深入探讨在对SPAC中董事和高级职员进行背景调查的最佳实践的技术性这一话题。 如果您想阅读有关什么是SPAC以及SPAC的主要风险的基本入门知识，请查看我们之前推出的文章：SPACs 101：SPAC基础知识简介。 如果您想在涉及中国的SPAC， 请参照我们较早的文章：之前对I-OnAsia全球业务发展总监江凌波的采访，她对中国SPAC在美上市的市场看法。 谁应该对SPAC中的董事和职员进行背景调查 据我们观察，受托人或代表投资者利益一方一般会在SPAC中有背景调查的需求，这其中可能包括董事会成员或其法律顾问。在律师或会计师与SPAC的新客户建立合作之前，也有背景调查之需。对SPAC里涉及的职员和董事的尽职调查也可以由基金经理和考虑对SPAC进行新投资的基金直接进行。 这些利益相关者可能需要对SPAC里的董事和管理层员工施行尽职和背景调查，因为他们有专业或法律义务。例如，如果没有进行背景调查，律师或会计师可能会失去其执业许可证或被起诉。或者，相关金融机构可能希望认知到风险并能保护投资。 …
