When a corporation suspects fraud, JPHI helps resolve the matter quickly and discreetly, using lawful methods that respect the rights of employees and other stakeholders. The firm often works side-by-side with general counsel, internal auditors, human resources, and security personnel.
An internal investigation typically focuses on suspected embezzlement, financial statement fraud, or other forms of employee misconduct—whether the employee is a rank-and-file clerk or a senior executive. An external investigation, by contrast, examines suspected fraud by vendors, distributors, or other outsiders. In either case, the final work product thoroughly prepares the corporation to take decisive action such as termination of employment, civil litigation, or referral to law enforcement.
JPHI encourages corporations to act before fraud occurs. To that end, the firm offers background checks, due diligence investigations, and business intelligence investigations. Such services are designed to mitigate risks before important transactions or hiring.
