Alerts

Early warning signs for a company in financial distress are easily detected through Corporate Scorecard’s Alert Service.

Taking proactive measures to minimise and avoid risk is not only as- tute but necessary in today’s economic climate. We can monitor your entire supply base to immediately alert you when there are indicators of a contractor’s potential failure.

Corporate Scorecard’s new Alert Service detects unusual changes to a supplier’s operations, including insolvency actions, changes in key corporate details, (e.g. Name, address, directors, judgements and payment defaults,) with the option to monitor changes to the Equifax Risk Score.

Your monitoring menu

Alert Service is designed to monitor:

Insolvency actions and petitions Implement risk mitigation strategies to avoid being impacted
Court judgements and payment defaults A leading indicator of business failure, giving you an early warning
Change of corporate details A change in trading name, shareholding or address can indicate a change of ownership or the need to review a contract
Change of directors Can be an indicator of an organisation in distress. Key personnel dependencies in smaller companies can also be monitored
Lodgement of financial statements The best time to review the financial position of key suppliers
Defaults An early indicator when monitoring a small number of suppliers, or businesses/sole traders
Change in Equifax Risk Score A leading indicator of potential financial distress when a company moves into a higher risk band
