About this file

This is an Acquisition Risk Questionnaire (ARQ) template used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Finance and Facilities Division to assess foreign ownership and control risks for contractor organizations.

The questionnaire contains ten primary questions designed to identify potential foreign influence or control over a company's operations and management. These questions address: foreign ownership of 5 percent or more in the organization (direct or indirect); organizational ownership of 10 percent or more in foreign interests; non-U.S. citizens in corporate officer, board, or senior management positions; foreign ability to influence board appointments or management decisions; contractual agreements with foreign entities including licenses and technology transfers; indebtedness or guarantees to foreign interests; income derived from foreign sources at 5 percent or more from a single source or 30 percent or more in aggregate; securities held in non-disclosed beneficial ownership arrangements; corporate officers or board members holding positions with foreign interests; and any other factors indicating potential foreign influence not previously addressed. The questionnaire requires detailed responses including names, addresses, citizenship status, Social Security numbers, dates and places of birth, percentages of ownership or income, nature of foreign involvement, and compliance with U.S. export laws. The template also includes a Key Management Personnel Listing (KMPL) section requiring name, position, Social Security number, date of birth, place of birth, and citizenship status for relevant personnel. This form is a standard compliance document and does not address specific products, services, or procurement terms.
