Fraud Investigation

Confidential investigation of suspected fraud, theft and financial misconduct.

When Something Doesn't Add Up

When you suspect fraud, you need answers quickly and quietly. Our fraud investigation team determines whether fraud occurred, how it was carried out, how much was taken and who was involved.

We work confidentially and document everything to a standard that supports insurance claims, civil recovery or referral to law enforcement. When the investigation is complete, we also show you which controls failed and what to change so it doesn't happen again. Our financial process and controls team can help put those controls in place. For misconduct beyond theft, see internal investigations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should we do if we suspect an employee is stealing?

Do not confront the employee or change systems yet. Preserve records and limit who knows. Then contact counsel and a forensic accountant. Early steps protect evidence and your recovery options.

Does insurance cover employee theft?

Many businesses carry crime or employee dishonesty coverage. Policies have notice deadlines and proof-of-loss requirements, so report quickly. We document the loss to support the claim.
