Internal Theft,
Fraud and Embezzlement
Embezzlement is the intentional misuse or
misappropriation of funds or assets (tangible or
intangible) entrusted to an employee who has power,
control, trust or authority over that money or asset.
We are licensed and
insured to conduct theft, fraud and embezzlement
investigations within Texas.
However, there are occasions when
companies prefer to conduct their own internal
investigation and simply need assistance with strategy,
information analysis, interview planning and subsequent
actions at the close of the investigation. Some of
the most veteran investigators also occasionally need a
fresh set of eyes to work through a road block. We
provide consulting to internal fraud investigators,
private investigators, Human Resources, owners and
executives of companies to assist them with issues of
employee theft, fraud, or embezzlement.
These are some of the
areas where we can assist you:
-
Retail employee theft
-
Document manipulation
through false vendors, payroll, or other bookkeeping
areas.
-
Missing assets or
inventory.
-
Missing deposits.
-
Falsification of
expense reports.
-
Shrinkage.
-
Vendor collusion.
-
Internal data mining
-
Interview strategy
for witnesses and/or suspects.
-
Obtaining written
statements.
-

polygraph examiners.
-
Case preparation for
local law enforcement.

civil liability areas during the investigation
process.
If you require consulting
services, the following is how we assist our clients:
A client will
contract us to assist them by phone with any phase
of an investigation. With the addition of web
conferencing, documents, photos, and even video
recordings can be reviewed simultaneously by a
number of people world wide to ensure the best flow
of conversation. This also allows the
inclusion of other subject matter experts if the
need arises and certainly facilitates case
presentation to law enforcement as well.
