Corporate Investigations

Fraud Investigations: Uncovering internal or external fraudulent activity, from employee theft to vendor misconduct and asset misappropriation. 

Employee Monitoring: Also known as time theft abuse, involves examining employee activities to determine if they are engaging in unauthorized behavior, particularly regarding time management. This typically involves field workers and remote employees.  

Misuse of Resources: Unauthorized or improper use of company facilities, property, vehicles, or equipment for personal gain or financial benefit.   

Due Diligence: Before entering into partnerships, mergers, or acquisitions, thorough background checks on individuals and entities can mitigate potential risks and ensure informed decision-making. 

Background Investigations: Thorough pre-employment background checks help minimize financial, security, and reputational risks, building an effective workforce that fosters a stable and productive environment for both the company and its employees.  

Litigation Support: Secure evidence and witness testimonies to strengthen your case and maximize your chances of success. 

Contract Compliance: Ensures a company is adhering to the terms and conditions of its contracts with vendors, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. 

Non-Compete Agreement (NCA): An inquiry into potential violations of a clause within a business partnership agreement that restricts one or both partners from competing with each other in certain ways, usually after the partnership dissolves.  

Every corporate investigation is unique and tailored to the specific circumstances of your case. The process typically involves:

Client Consultation: Our consultation prioritizes understanding your specific case. We'll work with you to assess its viability and tailor an investigative approach to your goals. 

Information Gathering and Planning: An experienced investigator gathers detailed information including but not limited to witness statements, all relevant documents, and other evidence. A plan is developed outlining the scope of the investigation, the methodology to be used, potential limitations, and the timeline for completion. This transparency empowers you to make informed decisions with confidence. 

Investigation and Analysis: Interviews may be necessary to gather information, assess credibility, and build a comprehensive understanding of the situation during the investigation. We analyze the collected evidence and determine whether the allegations are supported. This may involve weighing conflicting accounts and considering the credibility of witnesses. 

Reporting and Insights: Our investigator prepares an extensive written report summarizing the findings of the investigation and potential next steps. The report is typically presented to the organization's decision-makers, who will then determine the appropriate course of action.
