Business Investigations

Investigative and risk management services can have a vast array of uses to business entities. Potential problem areas within business entities would include, but not be limited to, theft, graft; employee harassment; employee misconduct; forgery; and, loss of trade secrets. The Noonan Group has extensive experience in the investigation of virtually all types of theft, fraud, and misappropriation.

The need for forensic investigations of business entities can result from internal discoveries of actual or potential fraud or as the result of outside law enforcement inquiries. The goal may be to discover the scope and depth of the problem in order to expeditiously stop further losses of funds/property and/or it may be to acquire expertise in identifying responsive evidence contained in business for an appropriate response to law enforcement. The Noonan Group’s expertise in knowing where and how to look for pertinent evidence/information would be invaluable to business entities and their legal counsel. A clear knowledge of the methods and goals of law enforcement investigators and grand jury practice is invaluable in this regard.

In addition to investigations of identified issues, the Group also can perform risk management assessments for businesses. A risk management review would seek not only to identify potential areas of risk but to probe the existing compliance regime for strengths and weaknesses. It would also determine whether the business entity’s insurance is properly structured to protect the business from loss. The review can be as narrow or broad as deemed best by the client
