Workplace and forensic investigations.
We run workplace investigations for employers who need the facts before they act on misconduct, fraud or procurement concerns.
The facts before the decision
Before an employer acts on allegations of misconduct, fraud or procurement irregularities, it needs to know what happened.
We investigate, collect the evidence and set out our findings in a written report the employer can act on. Our investigations have covered procurement across several projects, executive misconduct and breaches of disciplinary policy.
Matters we investigate
- Misconduct by senior employees and executives
- Procurement irregularities
- Fraud and financial irregularities
- Breaches of disciplinary policies
- Allegations involving tax or immigration law breaches by employees
- Gross negligence
