Why iPAC?

The underpinning philosophy of iPAC is that integrity is an integral part of any successful business. iPAC is a company specialising in integrity testing, screening and profiling in order to mitigate risk. Pre- and post-employment screening is becoming recognised worldwide as an invaluable tool in the recruitment and appointment process. iPAC agrees with international research that there is a 78% to 80% possibility that someone who has been dishonest in the past will repeat this trait in the future. The implication is that future behaviour in the workplace can be predicted with great accuracy. The integrated iPAC process is designed to assist companies in their endeavours to mitigate risk.

The iPAC service offering is distinguished from that of its competitors in that it offers a holistic solution and flexibility towards choosing certain products for a specific risk or process. As a value-added service, iPAC provides a protected database and workflow system to all clients called the iFlow system. This IT system complies with all the requirements regarding security and business continuity and is open for auditing by clients.

iPAC acknowledges that its success in the risk management industry is a direct result of its highly competent staff profile that shares the following attributes:

• Dedication to maintain the edge in the market place
• Successful fine-tuning of the traditional vetting process to a product that is more acceptable to the corporate environment
• Research on the profile of the fraudster and the viability of using integrity assessments as a pro-active way of combating crime with positive results (two years of formal research was conducted and ongoing comparative studies with independent professionals add to the body of knowledge within the organisation)
• Compliance with all legal standards
• Professional indemnity insurance
• In-house training and regular workshops to ensure the alignment of client needs to research trends
• The selection process revolving around three key attributes: integrity, competency and ability
