The Challenge
The board of directors received a credible whistleblower tip regarding inflated operational expenses and kickbacks. They needed to investigate the allegations swiftly and silently to avoid market panic and to gather concrete evidence against the high-level individuals involved. The challenge was to trace the complex money trail without alerting the perpetrators.
Our Strategic Solution
Our forensic team, combining financial analysts and digital forensics experts, initiated a covert audit. We analyzed transaction data, expense reports, and internal communications. The investigation revealed a well-organized scheme involving fake vendors, inflated invoices, and kickbacks routed through a series of shell companies. We traced the flow of funds, identified the ultimate beneficiaries, and prepared a detailed evidence-backed report which was presented to the board. We then guided the board on the next steps, including filing a formal complaint with the Economic Offences Wing (EOW).
