Theft Investigations

Identifying the Truth
Icon: Theft Investigations

According to the National Fraud Agency, theft and business fraud costs the economy £73 billion a year. Recorded incidents of internal fraud rose by 18% between 2014 and 2015 alone, and even the most loyal employees can end up stealing when the financial pressure rockets.

Our private detectives are perfectly placed to handle theft investigations, vital for maintaining successful commerce when corporate and business theft in Britain is increasing expeditiously – as revealed and affirmed by the Government’s own report into crime against businesses. You can read it here.

Unsurprisingly, business theft is also widespread internationally: A 2016 report by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (CFE) agrees, stating that a typical US business loses about 5% of its annual income to fraud.

What does identifying internal theft involve?

  • Investigating why there is less or more money floating around than there should be
  • Finding out why a particular employee makes the same ‘errors’ time and time again
  • Scrutinising how many ‘no sale’ or altered transactions are made
  • Searching for trends or patterns in cash loss
  • Examining unexplained inventory shortages
  • Assessing why sales reports don’t match shipping and delivery documentation
  • Pinning down incomplete or false information about customers
  • Looking into inventory write-offs that are neither explained nor justified
  • Investigating where missing receipts and invoices have got to
  • Probing into unexplained or suspicious employee behaviour
  • Studying accounts and cash flow
