Types of Fraud

Workplace fraud can take many forms, including embezzlement, theft of equipment or company resources, computer crime, data theft, and forgery. Yet alone internal company theft.

If fraud is suspected, it’s of paramount importance that you investigate immediately, because it’s rarely a one-off crime, and if the person or people committing fraud are not stopped, the crime can snowball, seriously affecting company finances and morale in the workplace.

The Role of the Private Investigator

Private detectives can be indispensable in a company’s fight against fraud. When we take on any new fraud case, we begin by discussing your suspicions, and taking time to understand your circumstances and how you’d like to proceed.

Investigations can be carried out discretely, causing the minimum of fuss and disruption to your business, or overtly, where the investigator ensures all staff are aware of his purpose and presence.

An overt investigation sends out a strong signal to your staff that you’re serious about the protection of your company, and it can act as a deterrent against future fraud. It may however be of crucial importance for matters to investigated covertly to get to the truth initially.

On completion of our investigations, we’ll hand over all documentation for use in any disciplinary or court case.

Insight have an excellent track record of investigating and solving cases of company fraud, and have many repeat clients who are confident in our abilities to investigate fraud and uncover proof that an employee is damaging internal resources through their actions.
