Investigations

Instances of fraud, bribery & corruption and employee misconduct can be damaging for any organisation, irrespective of size or sector. 

There’s not only the financial losses to consider, but the potential for sanctions and additional financial losses through fines, disruption to the business during any investigation, as well as reputational damage, which can be the most difficult aspect to recover from. 

It’s vital for any organisation, upon discovery of such a matter, to respond quickly and effectively, but appropriately, so as not to jeopardise an investigation, civil or police action and potential recovery of assets. 

There are times when investigations are best undertaken by an independent resource. This may be at the request of senior management, the board, shareholders or when the findings are to be made known to regulators or clients 

David and Scott have extensive knowledge and experience in this area, having successfully investigated many instances of alleged corporate fraud, embezzlement, bribery & corruption, employee misconduct and other matters.. 

These independent and legally privileged investigations and the detailed reports provided to organisations, have resulted in::  

• Identification and recovery of assets   
• Successful civil action being taken 
• Successful negotiated settlements 
• Criminal convictions for the perpetrators 
• Successful Disciplinary proceedings 

David and Scott have also worked together on behalf of organisations, where allegations have been made by clients, resulting in disputes between the two parties. 

Their investigations and reviews, as to whether the allegations were founded or not, have resolved the disputes, which involved £millions.
