The corporate world does not like to air 'dirty laundry' in public.  This is understandable.  Perception is more important than reality.

A business may involve private investigators to examine if a fraud or theft has taken place, or inappropriate activity has been conducted.  Where allegations are raised they must be investigated.  An independent investigation is a far more robust undertaking, generally without allegations of bias or favoritism.  And, unlike a law enforcement or government body, the investigator reports back to business and allows the business to make an informed decision, how to proceed.  Private Investigators are sometimes utilised to head off a formal investigation, or demonstrate that the company is capable of self management of difficult circumstances.

Allegations of impropriety often involve the executive or senior member of staff.  If not handled correctly they may result in senior management stepping down or being let go, without certain benefits.  An example of this is the David Jones sexual impropriety allegations.  It may be that an allegation is substantiated.  If so the person involved may be given the option of leaving quietly or alternatively publicly named, subjected to civil action or criminal charge.  For the person subject of the allegations the associated public fanfair which may preclude future employment.

The saying any publicity is good publicity isn't applicable to these circumstances.  We offer a discreet service to companies, to cater to these conditions.

Within the Senior ranks of executives an 'indiscretion' may be dealt with quietly, in the lower ranks of a company the offender may be made an example of. 

For big business we may investigate, find the evidence, then let the business make their own arrangements.  We DO understand that avoiding bad publicity and preservation of public perceptions are important.  We DO understand that business must meet it's 'due diligence' obligations.

CV and Resume verification: For those looking to put on staff, before you hire that squeaky clean executive, let us look at his or her real past.  It may leave out very relevant information about dishonesty or other behavioural issues or convictions.  A CV may contain exaggerates or false qualifications.  Queensland Health has learnt this, much to their chagrin, when employing medical staff with foreign qualifications.

Consider it another part of due diligence.
