Services :: Intellectual Property Protection :: Complex Fraud Investigations

Fraud and abuse costs organizations billions of dollars each year. Statistics suggest that over 85% of all corporate fraud has an internal component.  The W Group has extensive experience assisting multi-national clients resolve matters involving internal and/or external fraud, allegations of corruption, or potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Our experience includes implementing compliance programs as a proactive measure or assembling relevant facts once a fraud has been suspected or discovered. 

Experience:

• For a major transnational corporation, we determined that a purported “channel development partner” was actually a fish restaurant in a remote province in Northern China.
• For a large European conglomerate, we assembled the case against two rogue supervisors operating a multimillion dollar contractor billing fraud. The case resulted in the successful referral and federal prosecution of the co-conspirators and a sizable recovery for the client.
• For a large Midwestern producer of consumer products, we uncovered a scheme to divert truckloads of product from a key plant by falsifying inventory, production and distribution records and surreptitiously shipping  product on 2nd and 3rd shifts when supervision was inadequate.
