# Perform Checks for Associated Individuals

> Learn how to perform KYC and/or AML checks on individuals associated with an Australian business with the FrankieOne API.

The [Check Organisation Query](/docs/v1/api/kyc-api-endpoints/reference/business/check-organisation) will just perform the KYC/AML checks on any/all known Office-bearers, shareholders, and beneficial owners. It assumes that a previous Business Ownership Query had previously been run. If not, an error will be returned.

  ##### Background Processing

  The [Check Organisation Query](/docs/v1/api/kyc-api-endpoints/reference/business/check-organisation) endpoint always completes asynchronously, regardless of whether the `X-Frankie-Background` header is included in the request.

Checks for associated individuals using the [Check Organisation Query](/docs/v1/api/kyc-api-endpoints/reference/business/check-organisation) endpoint are always performed in the background and the result will be returned to you asynchronously. How long this takes depends on a number of factors:

* How complex a corporate structure we need to traverse to obtain the ultimate beneficial owners
* How many of the names and companies you wish to perform KYC/AML checks upon
* How complex a set of rules will apply to those KYC/AML checks.

A simple check on a company with one or two shareholders/owners can take around 20-30 seconds.

A more complex, multi-layered corporate structure with many shareholders and directors requiring checks can take upwards of 5 minutes.

See [Asynchronous Calls (Backgrounding Processes)](/docs/v1/api/guide-to-the-api/getting-started/asynchronous-calls-backgrounding-processes) for more details.
