When Your Business Needs Internal Investigation Services
Most companies wait too long to call investigators. They hope the problem will go away or that they can handle it internally. Meanwhile, whoever’s causing the problem keeps going, evidence gets deleted, and the damage gets worse.
Call us when you’re dealing with:
- Missing money or assets – inventory shrinking, unexplained transactions, funds unaccounted for
- Financial anomalies – losses that don’t make sense, reports that don’t add up
- Harassment or discrimination complaints – especially anonymous ones through your hotline
- Data breach or security incident – someone accessed systems or files they shouldn’t have
- Regulator asking questions – auditors, enforcement agencies, or compliance inquiries
- Policy violations you need to document – breaches of company rules that could become legal issues
- Due diligence for a deal – you’re buying something and need to verify what you’re being told
- Conflicts of interest concerns – executives with side deals or hidden relationships
Here’s the math: investigations that start within 48 hours recover 40% more stolen money than delayed ones. The longer you wait, the less you get back.
Our Internal Investigation Services
Every company hits trouble eventually—fraud, harassment claims, data breaches. When it happens, you need investigators who know what they’re doing. We’ve spent 25+ years handling exactly these situations for businesses across Europe.
Financial Fraud Investigations
Someone’s stealing from your company. Maybe it’s expense fraud, fake invoices, or money quietly disappearing from accounts.
What we do:
- Trace transactions to find where money went
- Identify who took it and how
- Build court-admissible evidence, not just suspicions
- Prepare documentation for prosecution or recovery
HR & Workplace Investigations
Harassment complaints are a minefield. You need someone from outside the company—someone with no skin in the game—to investigate fairly.
Our process:
- Interview employees confidentially
- Review messages, emails, and communications
- Document everything properly for legal protection
- Provide clear findings and recommendations
Compliance & Regulatory Investigations
Regulators don’t send warning letters. They show up with fines.
Why investigate first:
- Find problems before regulators do
- Get options: fix it quietly or report on your terms
- Avoid public enforcement actions
- Minimize penalties through self-disclosure
Cyber & Data Breach Investigations
Data breaches move fast. By the time you realize sensitive files are gone, whoever took them has a head start.
What we recover:
- Where data went and who accessed it
- How they got in (entry points, vulnerabilities)
- Evidence from servers, computers, phones
- Documentation for prosecution or defense
Due Diligence Investigations
Buying a company? Hiring a key vendor? Written records don’t always tell the full story.
We verify:
- Background checks and credentials
- Money trails and financial irregularities
- Hidden ownership structures
- Red flags accounting statements miss
Not Sure Which Investigation You Need?
Talk to a senior investigator—not a sales rep. We’ll tell you honestly what type of investigation fits your situation and what it’ll cost.
30-minute confidential consultation. Free. No pressure. Just straight answers about whether investigation makes sense for you right now.
How We Conduct Internal Investigations
Every investigation is different, but they all follow the same basic process. We’ve refined this over 8 years to balance speed with thoroughness, and confidentiality with getting you usable results.
1
Step 1: Confidential Consultation
You call us, we talk—completely confidential. A senior investigator (not a sales person) listens to what’s happening, asks questions, and tells you honestly what needs to happen. You get a cost estimate with no surprises. This conversation is free and you’re not obligated to hire us.
2
Step 2: Strategic Planning
We figure out who you need on the team. Forensic accountants for financial fraud. Digital experts for data breaches. Former law enforcement for complex schemes. We map out exactly what we’ll do, how long it’ll take, and what it’ll cost. Then we get NDAs signed and start.
3
Step 3: Evidence Gathering
This is where the actual work happens. We interview people, go through emails and documents, examine computers and phones, audit financial records. If we need to verify something with outside sources, we do that too. Everything is collected properly so it’s admissible in court if things go that far.
4
Step 4: Analysis & Reporting
We take everything we found and make sense of it. What happened, who did it, what evidence proves it. Our lawyers review everything to make sure it’s solid. Then we write it up in a detailed report with our recommendations. We present findings to whoever you designate—your CEO, board, legal counsel.
5
Step 5: Post-Investigation Support
We don’t drop the report and disappear. If you need help with disciplinary actions, talking to regulators, or fixing the problems we found, we’re available. Some clients want ongoing monitoring to make sure issues don’t come back. Most investigations run 2-6 weeks start to finish.
Why Choose Our Corporate Investigation Services
You have options when you need an investigation. Internal HR. Big consulting firms. Local PI agencies. Here’s why companies with real problems choose us instead.
Independent & Objective
We don’t work for your company. That’s the point. Your HR team has friends in the office. Your managers have people they want to protect. We don’t care about any of that. We just follow evidence wherever it goes.
Boards, regulators, and judges trust our findings because we have nothing to gain by lying. No office politics. No internal loyalties. Just facts.
Proven Track Record
$40+ million saved for clients over eight years. 300+ corporate teams audited—from 20-person startups to global corporations. Our team includes former intelligence officers, certified HR experts (SHRM, CIPD), cybersecurity professionals (CISSP, CISA), and PhD-level psychologists.
When fraud gets sophisticated, experience is what finds it. We’ve seen every scheme, every excuse, every cover-up attempt.
Rapid Response & Behavioral Analysis
75% of threats detected before they become crises. We don’t wait for problems to explode—we spot patterns early. Fraud doesn’t take weekends off. Neither do we. Available 24/7, investigators deployed within 48 hours.
Our behavioral analysis has 75% accuracy with under 3% false positives. Every alert is backed by data, not hunches. Modern polygraph equipment, voice stress analysis, digital forensics—we use what works.
Court-Ready Evidence & Confidentiality
Evidence that can’t be used in court is worthless. We collect everything properly from day one—chain of custody, legal procedures, expert witness testimony when needed. GDPR compliant across all European jurisdictions.
