Highlights
Kroll’s Middle East Risk Monitor assesses the risks involved in doing business in the Middle East; it is available for free on the Kroll website.

Kroll helps companies manage risks via the following types of offerings: background screening, corporate advisory and restructuring, electronic discovery and data recovery, forensic accounting and business valuation, investigations and intelligence, and security. In 1997, the company merged with The O’Gara Co., a vehicle-armoring firm, forming the Kroll-O’Gara Company. But in 2000, disharmony in the boardroom prompted Kroll-O’Gara to sell off its Security Products & Service Group and change its name to Kroll Inc. The sale netted the company about $50 million. Soon after the deal, O’Gara representatives stepped down from the board. In 2004, Kroll was acquired by Marsh & McLennan, the world’s largest insurance broker.
