The company was incorporated April 7, 1982 in the state of Delaware, though its primary offices are located in New York City. The company is extremely secretive and it is difficult to uncover information about them.

Discussions between representatives of BCCI and representatives of Kissinger Associates took place over an 18 month period concerning the possibility of merging the capabilities of BCCI and Kissinger Associates on various, mostly unspecified, projects. Following BCCI’s indictment, discussions continued as to whether Kissinger Associates could help BCCI respond to the ramifications of that indictment. These discussions ended in early 1989 at Henry Kissinger’s personal insistence...” http://publicintelligence.net/kissinger-associates-inc/
