It is estimated that fraud costs businesses in the US billions of dollars annually.  Many organizations are not equipped to detect fraud, and are quite susceptible to losses due to the lack of sufficient business controls that help deter and detect theft.  Investigating such losses after the fact can be made difficult by attempts to cover up and hide the trail.  Organizations need to move quickly and silently in instances where fraud is suspected to give themselves the best chances at recovery.

The Intelligence Group has investigated numerous instances of suspected fraud and financial crimes within organizations.  We apply state of the art investigative techniques such as computer forensics, to identify and recover key data and evidence, and forensic accounting analysis to focus on areas of potential and suspected loss not typically detected by financial audits or reviews.  We have gathered evidence leading to recovery and/or the successful prosecution of offenders in matters that include:

• Theft and misappropriation of assets by financial officers and executives.

• Abuse of corporate purchasing systems for personal gain.

• Solicitation of vendor kickbacks and gratuities.

• Diversion of purchased goods and services.

• Mis-use of proprietary corporate financial information.

• Defrauding of customers for corporate profit and personal gain.

Our experience in these types of matters allows us to work quickly and efficiently, allowing organizations the best opportunity for recover.  We also help strengthen client operations through the application of business controls and operational security techniques to make sure such instances are not repeated.
