High Level Employee Background/Promotion Investigations:  More than your normal “online” search but a comprehensive review.  Particularly warranted when hiring, promoting, or during a periodic review of senior personnel, those in high risk/opportunity positions or those in independent locations or with minimal headquarters oversight. 

Fraud and Vulnerability Assessments:  Often overlooked.  The best way to counter fraud is to prevent it in the first place and have robust, working systems to detect fraud if prevention fails.  A comprehensive assessment often uncovers lack of controls, inadequate controls or controls not functioning properly.  Assessments can be enterprise wide or focused on specific high risk activities.

Criminal Investigation/Consultation:  Provide a general analysis of the case, the evidence and the police/investigative reports to identify areas of weakness or concern and those areas where additional expertise is warranted.  Saves case time and limited resources by focusing those resources on areas of highest potential.

Undercover Investigations:  Due to the unique requirements undercover operations, these investigations must be properly planned and orchestrated to adequately protect the company, it's employees, and the investigator.  We have significant experience conducting these complex and challenging investigations.
