Fraud (Economic Crime) and General Investigations

Commercial life today is complex and diverse with many variations determined by the industry sector. Fraud and general investigation work requires a new breed of investigator. Their skill set is paramount.

Choosing the investigator and/or the appropriate investigation company (the chicken and egg syndrome).

Think of this......

If you had a leaking water pipe at home would you call an electrician - of course not, you would call a plumber.

If you had a fraud or serious crime to investigate who would you call? Well, fraud is a crime and oddly enough is committed by criminals. These days many wear suits. Remember detectives investigate crime. Not someone who is ex-military or a revenue collector or an investigator from a non-crime group. But a former detective.

But that choice needs to be further refined. There is a sliding scale; county detectives, town or city detectives those who have specialist training and experience (perhaps a specialist in robbery or illegal immigration - perhaps not).

For fraud and serious crime try Scotland Yard´s Fraud Squad and/or the Serious Fraud Office (SFO). That is where most of our investigators come from. Their profiles will include complex cases and the management thereof. They will be used to high profile, international work using networks and contacts in closed user groups where trust has been built up over many years. All will add value to your enquiry.

Also, when comparing us with other investigation companies note that we do not name our team or show photographs of them. Our policy is that all our team, especially management, must have regular ´hands on experience´ in investigations and it is too dangerous to publicise their identities. For those companies that do identify their team, well, does it not raise questions in your mind...?

Look also at our management profiles, memberships, international affiliates and areas of operation. We feel we can assist with most types of cases, and if we cannot then we will tell you. Our reputation is too important to loose trying something we cannot handle.
