Fraud & Corruption INvestigations

Fraud can happen anywhere. We need to trust our employees, yet if we are not prepared for fraud in the workplace, it can be harder to spot when it does occur.

Monitoring movements of employees, business partners, or even competitors can sometimes be imperative for the collection of evidence when suspicious circumstances arise within a business.

Often at the centre of fraud and corruption-related matters are poor workplace procedures. Poor procedures leave loopholes for those that know the system to exploit it to their advantage.

Workplace fraud can take many forms. Some employees may not even realise that they are taking part in a fraudulent activity. A matter as simple as signing off on higher overtime hours or adding in travel receipts in a travel expense form may be classified as fraud or even corruption.

A poorly planned fraud and corruption investigation may deal with the allegation at hand, but fail to identify and reveal whether there are systemic or procedural problems.

National Workplace Investigations conducts fraud and corruption investigations for various government organisations and has worked extensively with the relevant state oversight bodies in such matters.
