Any behaviour by employees or partners that affects clients, associates or your professional network directly harms your reputation and places you at risk of litigation and loses you money.

Reasons to conduct a corporate investigation

Misuse of information

Individuals or other companies working with you or for you necessarily have access to information held by you; this could be personal information about management or employees, information about clients and client base, financial information or information about corporate development. You need to know that the people who have access to your records are showing due diligence and respect for the information you have entrusted them with. Bond Rees corporate investigations will uncover the root of any data breach or inappropriate information sharing, enabling you to address this and prevent further harm.

Financial abuse

Your company is vulnerable to financial abuse; a company of any size needs to employ or associate with others to undertake transactions, accounting, purchasing, money handling, investment etc. Every extra pair of hands involved with the management of revenue increases the risk of financial crime such as theft, embezzlement, fraud or money laundering. It’s vital that you can trust the people involved with your financial management and information. If you suspect any wrongdoing or any vulnerability in your financial chain, Bond Rees can investigate and allow you to implement solutions to any potential financial risk.

Corruption and sabotage

Employees, partners and associates can be the greatest asset to your company. However, they also have access to knowledge, information and data within your organisation that can place you at risk if the individual does not have the interests of your company at heart.

Leaked information, false accounting or reporting, reputation harming and client poaching are some of the many ways that someone on the inside can harm your organisation and further their own goals.

A corporate investigation can uncover any behaviour that is intended to damage your company and ensure that you know exactly who you can trust.
