Embezzlement Investigation

Many companies suffer from employee loss and theft. Whether it be taking a stapler from the office to use at home, employee shoplifting, or any number of other examples. Embezzlement can be as minor as a cashier doing a payout not only for the office supplies, but also for his or her lunch; or it can be as major as the Enron scandal.

ICS can help you in your Embezzlement Investigation:

Forensic Accounting: Forensic accounting is a painstaking, detail-oriented, and time-consuming process that can leave no room for error. That why you want the investigation professionals at ICS when you get forensic accounting done. Our experienced investigators have been a part of our business since 1967. No matter how broad or narrow your requirements are, we can fulfill them.

Handwriting Analysis: Handwriting can be as uniquely identifying as a fingerprint. Handwriting analysis is the process of comparing the document with that of the handwriting of the suspected author. This can show proof that a document was or was not signed by the party in question.

Altered Dates or Document Timeline: Documentation examination for time references can include a number of things such as whether a document was signed before or after the document was created, as well as a general understanding of when the document was created. For instance if a document was signed before the body of the document was created, then it would verify that the signer was not knowledgeable of what was being signed. Also, if documents that are to be created over a period of time (such as ledgers, medical statements, log books, etc) through a timeline analysis we can determine if it was created over the said period of time, or on the spot in one sitting.

Altered Documents: Altered documents can mean one of three things.

Documents that were torn can be put together again much like a puzzle with close examination of it's edges. We can also determine if there were missing or added pages to a document such as a will or contract.

Digital Document Orientation Analysis: Many people are not aware of the fact that a digitally produced document can be matched up to the piece of equipment which produced it such as a THE printer, fax, copier, and even typewriter. This is very similar to a ballistics investigation where a fired bullet is matched to the gun that fired it.

Embezzlement is something to be taken seriously. If you terminate someone's employment due to suspicion of embezzlement, and you do not have the proof to back that up, it can lead to serious repercussions such as an unfair dismissal lawsuit.
