Internal Investigations & Due Diligence (Business and Employee Misconduct)

Hiring smart for sensitive and executive positions has never been more important. Proper vetting and aptitude assessment helps to ensure that an effective organizational culture is maintained and internal conflicts are minimized. Too often, perspective candidates conceal past issues, exaggerate experience and other qualifications to obtain employment. This can prove costly to an organization.

We provide full background investigations of job candidates as well as other matters that require investigation or analysis. These issues can range from intelligence gathering on potential legal matters to competitor analysis.

DUE DILIGENCE is vital when any of the following events are initiated:

•Internal Investigations

•Mergers or acquisitions

•Contract negotiations

•Establishing business relationships

•Civil litigation

•Criminal defense

•Vetting potential executive level employees or agents

ONGOING DUE DILIGENCE

•On going due diligence investigations are necessary to insure internal processes are being followed and current procedures are actually working.

•Periodic assessments of organizational leadership are necessary to verify employees are successful and achieving organizational goals.

•This serves as an early warning system for a variety of problems. This gives an opportunity to provide additional training or put the right people in the right places.

•On going due diligence is also imperative to established business relationships and for long term employees/agents. Serious issues can develop and if left undetected can pose a serious risk to an organization.

•Damage can result from civil liability, criminal conduct or merely terrible public relations.
