Abstract: The aim of this paper is to provide the reader with an understanding of how the process of due diligence, particularly in respect of custodians, has developed over the last four decades; how it is today, and how it is likely to function in the post-COVID-19 environment. The intention is always to highlight the best market practice, and to determine what improvements can and have been made to the process to bring deeper under standing of the counterparty being examined, create efficiencies, and wherever possible, leverage technology to improve timeliness and reduce cost. While COVID-19 could never be seen as a positive, it has forced many industries, including financial services, to re-evaluate the way ongoing third-party monitoring and due diligence is per formed and has created some new models that support better outcomes and satisfy regulatory demands.
