Safeguarding Your Assets ~ Your Brand

In the business world, information is power. It can be manipulated and distorted and result in misrepresentation, fraud and other serious threats to an organization’s activities or survival. This can be caused by current and former employees, competitors, business allies, vendors, licensees or customers.

Our clients who seek our services are professionals like you – CEOs, Presidents, Controllers, Human Resources Professionals, Occupation Health and Safety, and those entrusted to process claims and safeguard the corporation’s assets.

Whitehall Investigations Canada, offers investigative and intelligence expertise that can assist in exposing threatening or illegal activity, whether or not it has already occurred – information that can be vital to the success of any business. Our team of professionals work as part of your team in helping you develop sound business principles, minimizing financial losses, increasing profits, preserving proprietary data, corporate reputation and when necessary, collecting evidence in preparation for litigation.

With a reputation built on quality, integrity and trust, we have helped clients plan for the future while protecting their assets of today. Our professionals do more than offer information; they provide analysis and recommended actions that are tailored to a specific organization that can impact business strategy and its execution. Whitehall Canada’s multidisciplinary team is comprised of investigative specialists from a wide range of backgrounds, including technology and consulting professionals.

What appears to be a simple bookkeeping oversight, an information technology glitch, a disappointing sales report or an especially eager potential business partner, may actually be an indicator of illegal or fraudulent activity. Regardless of the issue, or whether it has occurred or is merely suspected, our investigators work closely and confidentially with management and legal counsel to conduct objective, third party investigations without disrupting the organization’s operations.

Key areas of corporate solutions include:

Surveillance

Surveillance is completed on employees who have been involved in suspicious work-related claims to include return to work and modified duty breaches, breach of non-compete contracts, suspected moonlighting, abuse of time off, theft and high risk termination matters.

Our staff is well trained in keeping focused on the client’s objective and realizes there are many avenues beyond surveillance to secure the truth. Some of these services include the following:

• Internal and External Surveillance
• High Risk Employee Situations
• Social Media Investigations
• Employment interviews with supervisors, colleagues, and Human Resources personnel
• Extensive databases searches, OSINT
• Locate Investigations
• Surveillance and Counter-Surveillance
• It doesn’t cost you to learn more. But it might be costing your company having no action plan.

Due Diligence and Competitive Intelligence

Business agreements may be influenced on expectations and anticipation rather than verified business relationships or financial data. Whitehall Canada’s due diligence services help financial institutions, corporations, partnerships and individuals minimize risk in their transactions and undertakings.

Our worldwide investigative resources are utilized to uncover and analyze information, whether an organization is involved in a merger and acquisition, joint venture, distribution arrangement or similar business alliance. Whitehall Canada will ensure that a client possesses critical, business-related background information and operational knowledge. In addition, clients receive recommendations to help them better manage identified risks after an agreement is reached.
