The case
Following a whistleblower notification, the suspicion may arise that a (number of) employee(s) have offered bribes in order to win work for your company. This is not only contrary to laws and legislation, but also to the standards and values of you and your business. It was then decided to start an internal investigation into the scale and facts of this fraud and which employee(s) is (are) involved.
The Challenge
Considering the nature of the report, and certainly if it appears to be correct, it is possible that this misconduct must be reported to a regulator. At this point it is important, especially in the beginning of such an investigation, to work discretely and quickly. This prevents physical and digital evidence from being destroyed or removed before the investigation has been started.
The Solution
We work together with you and / or your lawyer and forensic accountant to gain insight into which physical and digital information you have at your disposal to support the investigation. Examples are physical documents, but also e-mailboxes, shared network drives, financial administration, mobile phones and tablets. After the selection of potentially relevant data sources, they are collected and secured by Forcyd’s experts so that the evidence is preserved. We always try to secure the data for the investigation with the least possible impact on day-to-day operations. Your systems and documents will remain accessible and available, and your company can continue to function undisturbed. The collected data is processed in a structured way and made available in our online review platform. This allows your company to quickly and effectively investigate the whistle-blower notification.
