When it comes to investigative research, trained experts can uncover facts that help you make the right decisions; and save your organisation from making costly mistakes. CRI\u00ae Group has trained investigators positioned worldwide who can help provide a range of investigative research services. When used as a tool of effective due diligence, investigative research can provide an immediate advantage and be a proven benefit for an organisation in any industry. In this article, we\u2019ll discuss a few ways investigative research can help uncover previously unknown weaknesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Finding fraud<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Any organisation is susceptible to fraud. To make matters worse, corporate fraud is often a complex crime, requiring a high degree of investigative expertise to ensure that evidence is gathered and handled correctly, interviews are conducted effectively, and laws are carefully followed in the investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">CRI\u00ae Group has conducted\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/crigroup.com\/ar\/investigative-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">financial investigations<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0for companies worldwide to uncover a variety of criminal activity, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Corporate and accounting fraud<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Asset misappropriation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Data manipulation or data theft<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Internal &amp; external corruption<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Embezzlement<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Kickback schemes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Expense manipulation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Procurement fraud<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Third-party fraud<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">IP Infringement<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Insurance fraud<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The worst type of fraud scheme is the one you don\u2019t know about. Statistics say that a typical fraud lasts as long as 18 months before it is discovered. With proper investigative research, you can uncover fraud sooner \u2013 and hopefully prevent the next one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Discovering IP Theft<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Intellectual property (IP) theft is a serious threat to any organisation. Unfortunately, trying to counteract it can be a slow and expensive process. Using proper investigative research by an expert provider like CRI Group can help uncover cases of IP theft and help you begin the process of securing your property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Did you know how many types of IP theft are out there?

They can impact your bottom line, such as when an executive awards business to a colleague or friend at higher prices or partners with an unethical or disreputable third party. Investigative research provides extensive due diligence, looking deep into partnerships and vendors to uncover potential conflicts of interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Some of the scenarios CRI\u00ae Group\u2019s experts have discovered:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Criminal conduct and background issues<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hidden assets<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Shell companies<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Unethical partnerships<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bid-rigging<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hidden financial interests among executives or management<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Investigative research is critical in helping your organisation stay on top of any issues before spiral out of control. And as an effective tool for risk management, it helps you put preventative measures in place for the future.
