Corporate victimisation takes many forms, including theft of trade secrets and proprietary information, employee infringement of patents and copyrights, theft and embezzlement of property, and collusion between vendors and marketing personnel. These situations require effective, credible and confidential internal investigations. We are regularly asked to conduct investigations for multinational companies, professional organisations and even governmental entities.
The enquiry team, led by several former government trained investigators, is well-suited to conduct internal investigations. They have previously worked with the National Criminal Intelligence Service and on such cases as the Fred West Murder enquiry. These professionals can quickly and discreetly detect practices that undermine an organisations credibility and productivity.
Our numerous investigations have included reviews of internal financial controls and procedures, audits of pension funds, financial reconciliations, employee and vendor interviews, and background and “life style” investigations. In connection with these investigations, we routinely advise clients on the establishment of Compliance Programs that strengthen internal controls and provide critical protection to any organisation
