Corporate Factual Investigations: How Businesses Protect Themselves

The ongoing sophistication of business operations today has made it unarguably clear to every business owner that protecting your business is not only about cybersecurity or insurance but about identifying the facts.

Internal fraud, employee misconduct, false claims, and policy breaches are some of the causes that result in a company suffering immeasurable financial and reputational losses. This is when corporate factual investigations are required to be undertaken.

A factual investigator conducts a practical, law-effective evidence collection to substantiate any internal decision, legal, or insurance claims. We, at … with AusCovert Investigations, provide only the most trustworthy factual investigations that can also be the basis of a company’s decision-making- risk-free, legal matters, or compensation claims.

When Should a Business Hire a Factual Investigator?

Businesses need to involve a factual investigator when:

• Neutral Language: Interviewers gather data in a neutral and non-biased manner.
• Recording & Documentation: Statements are written or recorded using sound equipment to keep records.
• Multiple Perspectives: Witnesses, complainants, and defendant(s) are all questioned separately.
• Objective Reporting: A report is authored that contains no presumptions or prejudice.

Guided by this methodical process, the achievement of a just, legitimate, and honest solution to troublesome job matters is guaranteed.

Benefits of Third-Party vs. Internal Investigations

Corporate Risk Management Through Factual Investigations

Risk management is an aspect of insuring not just related to coverages but also about avoidance and early warning. Factual investigations have the following contributions to the business:

• Discover areas of weakness in internal control
• Avoid litigations that are both lengthy and expensive or resolve employee disputes in a fair-minded manner
• Be positively inclined to fair disciplinary actions
