When a major construction company identified red flags in the behaviour of a logistics manager, they engaged CurbyMcLintock to conduct an investigation, uncover the facts and protect the organisation from further risk.
Our investigation quickly revealed multiple instances of employee fraud, including the deliberate falsification of accounting records designed to conceal misconduct. Using a combination of forensic accounting and data analytics techniques, detailed evidence analysis, and targeted interviews, we established a clear chronology of events and quantified the impact of the wrongdoing.
Our client wanted the matter referred to the police for potential criminal action. We prepared a criminal brief of evidence, engaged with the Tasmania Police and provided them with the evidence we had collected for their consideration and action. The employee was formally charged with fraud offences, subsequently pleaded guilty, and was convicted.
