English to German Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)

Bei meinem Text handelt es sich um Musterbestimmungen zum Thema Korruptionsbekämpfung. Da heißt es:

"No government is investigating or has in the past five years conducted, initiated or threatened any investigation of [Business Associate] or any of its owners, affiliates, partners, officers, directors or employees for alleged violation of Anti-Corruption Laws",

... und dann folgt folgende Fußnote:

"As a fallback, consider adding a knowledge qualifier at the start of the provision (“To the best of [Business Associate’s] knowledge, no government is investigating . . .”). You may also consider with regard to investigations of “employees” limiting disclosure to “employees who work on the Company’s account.” Note, however, that proposing the initial representation without these qualifiers provides ***an opportunity to diligence a request to narrow the provision***, and that request for qualifications (particularly as to employees who do not work directly on the account) could be a red flag requiring follow-up."

Ich habe leider keine Ahnung, was ich unter "an opportunity to diligence a request" zu verstehen habe. "Diligence" wird doch hier wie ein Verb verwendet, oder?!?

Vielen Dank im Voraus!!!
