Goldman Sachs Background Checks

Hi everyone, I received an offer with GS (US), will be proceeding with background checks shortly. Any insights as to the information that needs to be provided ?
My employment and education dates and titles are solid, but I was laid off halfway through the interviews and haven't disclosed this to anyone within GS.

This is quite common in the UK for financial services roles (I’m unsure about the US). Certainly for me it was a check with the Data Barring Service, which is a check on court records that could bar you from being employed in a role (such as a Director of a company, criminal activity, and/or other undeclared records at the point of application).
