Meeting An Unrecognised Need For Private Investigations
Three decades’ experience brings a great deal of insight to the table, but the one thing that’s troubled us most over the years is the fact that the majority of our clients only approach us after they’ve fallen victim to a particular malicious act. Whilst we boast a 90% success rate across our service portfolio and work to recover clients’ losses wherever possible, it’s imperative that businesses and individuals throughout Australia are made aware of the practical implications of applying preventative measures before malpractice sets in, rather than reacting to it afterwards.
Preventative measures, such as integrating systematic background checks into your recruitment process for example, reduce the risks that you face from fraud, false insurance claims, workplace injury matters, recruiting trustworthy staff and safeguarding confidential information, among a wide range of associated concerns during day-to-day business.
It’s with that in mind that we have sourced a professional with proven expertise, spanning more than 24 years in the effective delivery of integrated risk management services and business development solutions. This has complimented and enhanced our ability to tailor our preventative, investigative and risk mitigation solutions to each of our clients’ particular cases, and their respective specifications. Whether businesses operate in the corporate, legal, government, education, finance or health sectors, our highly effective anti-fraud, counter espionage, surveillance services and corporate investigations are an essential tool to any Australian organisation.
As we have grown, so too has the management team that drives us. With our National Operations Manager,
National Investigations Coordinator, National Business Development Manager and Customer Relations Manager behind us, we can ensure that your business is afforded the expertise, proven systems and personalised service required to meet both your recognised, and unrecognised needs for professional investigation services.
