Corporate Investigation
Corporate investigations are a crucial aspect of ensuring that companies operate smoothly. By conducting these investigations, companies are able to identify potential issues and address them before they become major problems. Furthermore, these investigations can help to improve overall efficiency and productivity within the company.
Crown Collections works with corporate clients to investigate a wide range of wrong doing, whether committed by management, employees, or third parties. We have agents throughout New Zealand, Australia, the Pacific Islands and internationally.
Types of Investigation
Depending on what you’re looking to investigate within your business, an investigator will conduct one or multiple of these investigations
UNDER COVER INVESTIGATION
By blending in with the company, an investigator can look into employee misconduct like theft, substance abuse, or harassment. Investigators will often use covert surveillance as a part of their inspection.

Investigators can conduct research in order to find information about companies that you do business with for acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, venture capital, private equity, and investments. They can also perform in-depth employee background checks
FINANCIAL INVESTIGATION
An investigator conducting a financial investigation can discover embezzlement, money laundering, fraud, and other white collar crime.
CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION
An investigator looking for corruption can uncover bribery, illegal foreign exchange, corporate fraud, and industrial espionage.
