Experience counts.
We have been successful in assisting attorneys, business owners and corporate executives in a variety of matters. The following are representative of recent litigation support and forensic investigations we have performed.
Embezzlement - Construction Industry
The CFO of a large construction company asked us to handle the investigation into allegations that a senior officer was engaged in a scheme to defraud the company. Using a series of confidential interviews, advanced data interrogation software and anonymous tips we were able to confirm a multi-year embezzlement that cost this organization over $200,000. The matter was referred to local law enforcement for prosecution.
Embezzlement - Non Profit Organization
The president of a large non profit organization suspected the controller of embezzlement. We were able to prove that the controller had stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars over a period of 18 months. This matter was referred to local authorities and based on the evidence package we produced the controller was sentenced to 5 years in jail.
Misuse of Position
We were engaged to investigate allegations concerning misuse of corporate funds by the president of an emerging technology company. This investigation was conducted on behalf of a special audit committee at the request of their largest investor.
Kickback Scheme
An importer of retail novelty products engaged us to investigate a tip that the senior vice president of sales was participating in a kickback scheme with various suppliers and was operating a competing company. We designed a "sting" operation to purchase materials from the competing company and discovered that not only was it operating as the tipster indicated but it was also selling our client's merchandise, which had been stolen from a remote warehouse.
Fraud by Corporate officers
Plaintiff's attorney asked us to investigate allegations of fraud and embezzlement by officers of a privately held company. Our investigation involved analysis of data contained in multiple computers and multiple locations. In addition thousands of paper documents were analyzed for relevance. Members of our team participated in crafting discovery requests, assisted with depositions and interviewed former employees.
Government Employee Kickback Scheme City attorney engaged us to investigate allegations that city employees were involved in kick-back schemes. Our investigation included extensive analysis of accounting and other records. Interviews with employees, contractors and informants were conducted by our team. Finally a detailed evidence package was prepared by us for use by city officials and law enforcement.
