When allegations arise inside your organization, we work quickly so that in-house and outside counsel can make an informed decision such as removing an employee or agent, ending a contract, or reporting the matter to a government or supranational organization.  Our investigations may also clear up allegations and indicate that no wrongdoing has occurred.

Working from 12 offices in 7 time zones, our multilingual team can extend the reach of a legal or compliance team in any language, geography and industry. Our investigators understand the local culture and business environment from their own experience in the countries where we work, and are trained in conducting detailed and ethical interviews, records review, and evidence-gathering.

Our work often begins online and ends in-country. Even in difficult jurisdictions and languages, we approach knowledgeable people, gather documentary evidence, and conduct forensic accounting and computer examinations.

As a public service, we published and have continually updated an interactive visualization, called Where the Bribes Are, which is widely cited around the compliance community.

And further to our thought leadership on corruption, we even created a game, called Kleptocrat: How to Hide Dirty Money, based on our study of corruption and asset-hiding patterns. It’s free in Apple’s app store as well as Google Play for Android; 7,500 have already played.
