any such acts in Pakistan or abroad that could pose serious threat to the businesses.

effectiveness of screenings, DataFlow offers Integrated Screening Solution that enables
multi-layered screening method to identify ID fraudsters, criminals, absconders,
defaulters/bankrupts and alleged terrorists as soon as NADRA ID is verified .
