Our Foundations

For more than 15 years, Orna International’s professional team has been providing high level, discreet services in corporate fraud, asset tracing and recovery and litigation support. Our highly trained and experienced staff have acquired an enviable reputation for success with integrity.

Orna International is the pre-eminent agency for background screening, compliance, vulnerable point analysis, and due diligence checks.

Orna International earned its space in the worldwide pre-employment screening market back in 2005. Our founder, Mr John Westall CFE developed a way of reducing fraud in workplaces, by screening candidates prior to employment. Mr Westall was a member of Scotland Yard (Flying Squad), and served for many years in the corporate banking world. Seeing fraud occur right before his eyes in the banking sector opened his eyes to the vulnerability of businesses as a whole. He brought his concept to market, and has built a worldwide reach for our pre-employment screening platform. John’s legacy lives on, as we have adopted his ethos and built the business further, developing new ways to keep up with fraudsters.
