Internal Fraud Investigations
Internal fraud is one of the most damaging — and most underreported — risks facing businesses of every size. When the threat comes from inside the organization, discretion and precision are not optional. They are the entire strategy.
What This Investigation Covers
- Employee theft of cash, inventory, merchandise, or proprietary assets
- Embezzlement — unauthorized transfers, falsified records, ghost vendors
- Vendor kickbacks and undisclosed supplier relationships
- Expense report fraud and billing abuse by employees or contractors
- Payroll fraud — ghost employees, falsified hours, unauthorized increases
- Corporate credit card misuse and unauthorized purchasing
- Falsified financial records designed to conceal ongoing theft
- Asset misappropriation by trusted employees in positions of access
When This Service Is Needed
- Inventory shortfalls, cash drawer discrepancies, or unexplained losses that don't resolve through audits
- An employee or vendor whose lifestyle appears inconsistent with their compensation
- Irregularities flagged by an internal or external auditor
- A credible tip from a coworker, customer, or anonymous source
- Pre-litigation intelligence gathering before confronting a suspect
