WORKPLACE THEFT

An elderly businessman clutches a silver metal document case tightly to his chest fearful of theft or coporate espionage in a busines safety and security concept.

Theft in the workplace can be difficult to detect, as it typically starts small. If the dishonest employees discover that they can get away undetected with these small thefts, they are likely to expand their efforts. Your business may soon be losing large sums of money each year, and the larger or more diverse your business interests and assets are, the easier it is for a savvy employee to hide their criminal activities. Even if the thefts are discovered, it is often very difficult for business owners and corporations to identify the guilty party or parties, especially if several employees are involved in the cover-up.

Our detectives can investigate any suspicious financial activity or losses occurring within your company, in relation to both current and former staff, including:

• Theft of company assets, for example the disappearance of equipment, stock and other resources;
• Embezzlement of company funds;
• Misuse of employee allowances or office supply funds;
• False invoicing and inventory reports that hide theft and fraudulent activities;
• Intellectual property theft, such as employees selling their ideas to your competitors, or profiting from ideas or designs generated while in your employ and on company time;
• All other types of fraud.
