 Introduction of Fact Finding

The definition of fact-finding is behavior to uncover information or knowledge about something.

Fact-finding is defined as gathering information and identifying important details. He gathering of
information, specific, preliminary research to gather facts for a later, full investigation, hearing,
etc. Fact-finding refers to the gathering of information. It is often part of an initial mission, i.e.,
preliminary research, to gather facts for a subsequent full investigation or hearing.

A fact-finding tour for example, has the purpose of ascertaining facts. You may want to check the
facts about, for instance, France, before deciding to break into the French market. In this context,
‘market’ refers to the business environment where people buy and sell things. In an inquiry or
investigation, factfinding is the discovery stage. During this stage, people gather information by
using questionnaires and other survey tools. They then assemble all the data in a report and give
it, perhaps with recommendations, to the investigator.

A government or parliamentary committee may go on a fact-finding mission to discover and

establish the facts of an issue. An advancing army will send out scouts to check out the terrain
ahead. They will look out for enemy soldiers, hostile terrain, opportunities, strategic advantages,
etc. The scouts go out on a fact-finding mission before the troops move forward
