Employee Theft & Embezzlement
Investigate suspected internal theft, expense fraud, or embezzlement, with documentation built to support termination decisions or a referral to law enforcement.
Internal issues need investigators who understand employment law exposure as well as investigative method. Our licensed team handles corporate matters that cannot be run by HR alone.

Corporate investigations cover the problems that surface inside an organization rather than outside it: an employee suspected of theft, a harassment complaint that needs an independent look, a vendor relationship that does not add up, or a policy violation that could expose the company to liability if it is handled poorly. Our investigations division is led by a former U.S. Secret Service Agent, and our team averages 22 or more years of law-enforcement experience conducting exactly this kind of investigative work.
We take on internal investigations because an outside, licensed investigator brings independence that an internal HR review cannot. Every finding is documented following chain-of-custody protocols that meet New Jersey and Pennsylvania court standards, so if a matter ends in termination, litigation, or a regulatory inquiry, the investigation itself holds up. We do not take every case. When an internal matter is better handled by employment counsel alone, or when the request falls outside what a licensed investigation should touch, we say so.
Matters that need independence and documentation an internal review cannot provide alone.
Investigate suspected internal theft, expense fraud, or embezzlement, with documentation built to support termination decisions or a referral to law enforcement.
Independent, third-party investigation of harassment or misconduct complaints, giving your organization a defensible, documented record separate from internal HR.
Investigate suspected violations of company policy, industry regulation, or contractual obligations, documented to the standard your compliance or legal team needs.
Investigate a vendor or contractor relationship where kickbacks, conflicts of interest, or misrepresented qualifications are suspected.
Investigate whether an employee or executive has an undisclosed financial or personal interest that conflicts with their duties to the company.
Investigate suspected misuse of confidential company information, including by a departing employee headed to a competitor.
Built to protect the company and hold up if the matter escalates.
We meet with the appropriate decision-makers, usually HR, legal, or ownership directly, to understand the allegation, the stakes, and any related legal exposure before any investigative steps begin.
Depending on the matter, this includes document review, interviews, surveillance, or financial record analysis, always following chain-of-custody protocols that meet New Jersey and Pennsylvania court standards.
Witness and subject interviews are conducted by our investigators, not internal staff, so findings carry the independence a court, regulator, or arbitrator expects.
You receive a written report of findings your legal counsel or HR team can act on, whether that means termination, discipline, policy change, or referral to law enforcement.
Discretion is foundational to every assignment. Our investigations division is led by a former U.S. Secret Service Agent, and our investigators average 22 or more years of real law-enforcement experience. We do not take every case, if a matter is outside what a licensed investigation should touch, we say so before you pay for it.
A last known address is a starting point, not an answer. Our investigators combine licensed database research with on-the-ground verification to locate people who have moved on, on purpose or otherwise.

Learn MoreWhen a case comes down to what someone is actually doing, not what they claim, documented surveillance is the evidence that holds up. Our investigators are licensed and trained to build a record that survives scrutiny.
