Integrity investigation

Preventive and repressive integrity investigations
An incident has destroyed public trust. The situation appears to be out of control. Your reputation has almost certainly been tarnished. A nightmare scenario for most clients. Preventive integrity investigation and rigorous repressive investigation are extremely important in preventing and dealing with these kinds of situations. Our tried and tested approach will clarify things without delay. Then we can help you decide on the most appropriate course of action.

• Forensic investigations
Fact-finding is usually sufficient to clarify a situation. We employ a set method. First we establish the structure of the organisation, policy and procedures. Then we examine what has happened and the extent to which this deviates from the norm. It often turns out that business practice is not 100% aligned with procedures and policy. We show how this can be improved. And sometimes there is contravention of the regulations. If this is the case, you have to decide what happens next. Concrete evidence of fraud or unlawful conduct by a member of staff, business partner or client can have a huge impact. At times like these transparency, facts and discretion are the things that count. We will conduct an independent investigation and give a clear and objective presentation of the facts. We will also recommend ways in which you can prevent fraud in the future.

• Integrity due diligence and pre-employment screening
Has a candidate, prospective business partner or potential client given you a true account of their background? If you are in any doubt is it possible that sooner or later this will lead to significant problems. It is especially important to be sure when dealing with political and social appointments, and integrity sensitive positions within commercial companies or financial institutions. Preventive investigations such as these are often conducted for asset managers, multinationals and financial institutions, such as banks and investment firms. Executive search agencies and Personnel and Organisation management also initiate integrity investigations.
