HCEO

Theft or fraud inside a business

Stock, cash, a supplier nobody has met, a bookkeeper who never takes a holiday. I find out what has gone and who knew before anyone is tipped off.

You have found something that does not add up. Stock, cash, a supplier nobody has met, a bookkeeper who never takes a holiday. I was a police investigator for six years.

I work out what has gone, how, and who knew, quietly and before anyone is tipped off, and I put the evidence into a shape an employment lawyer, the police or an insurer can act on.

If the matter should go to the police, the file goes in the form an investigator recognises and I write the covering request myself.

Investigations

  • A partner or a director gone

    Fallen out, fallen ill, or died, and the business still has to trade. I carry it through the weeks that matter on the directors' instructions.

  • Checking who you are dealing with

    A partner, a buyer, a supplier or a senior hire. The public record checked against the story, and a short note on what I would ask.

  • The police have said it is a civil matter

    You reported it and got a crime number, or nothing at all. I write the file the police did not, so that it can go back to them or on to a solicitor.

  • Police liaison

    A written request to the police, on HCEO LTD letterhead, in the form an investigator recognises, addressed to the right desk.
