    Client Success Story

    Corporate Insider Threat

    A mid-size private company suspected a senior executive of directing contracts to a company in which they held an undisclosed interest. The board needed definitive answers before taking action, but internal investigation resources were insufficient.

    Amerine investigators conducted a comprehensive inquiry including financial analysis, public records research, and discrete interviews. We coordinated closely with outside counsel to ensure legal defensibility and proper evidence handling.

    Our investigation confirmed the suspected conflict and documented $2.3 million in improperly directed contracts. The company terminated the executive with cause and recovered significant damages. Our documentation supported successful litigation.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do you ensure investigation confidentiality?

    All investigators sign comprehensive NDAs, and we implement strict information security protocols. Need-to-know principles govern information sharing, and we coordinate with your legal team on privilege protection.

    Can an investigation support legal proceedings?

    That depends on jurisdiction, investigator qualifications, counsel's direction, methods, and written scope. Any testimony or litigation-support role is confirmed separately.

    How long do investigations typically take?

    Timeline depends on scope and complexity. Simple background investigations take days; complex fraud investigations may require weeks or months. We provide timeline estimates during intake and update as investigations progress.
