Know Before You Invest. Protect Before You Commit.
This official InvestorJustice.org publication provides a structured due-diligence framework to evaluate the transparency, accountability, and regulatory integrity of any financial or crypto platform before committing funds.
It is designed for individual investors, journalists, and compliance professionals who need a neutral, evidence-based way to assess risk exposure.
1. Purpose
The checklist helps determine whether a platform operates with genuine oversight and verifiable disclosures.
It guides users through six key areas of inquiry:
- Identity and Oversight — registration, directors, and regulatory body
- Data Access and Audit Trail — availability of full transaction history
- Financial Integrity and Disclosures — transparency of yield, collateral, and fund segregation
- Jurisdiction and Redress — where complaints can be filed and under which law
- Governance and Accountability — audit partners, public statements, and enforcement response
- Scoring Guide — quick-reference scale to interpret overall risk
