Corporate Investigations:
9 Ways to Fight Fraud
1. Pre-employment Screening - IS A MUST! Alerts the employer
to potential fraud or misrepresentation. Verifies previous employment,
educational degrees, professional licenses, disciplinary actions,
certifications. Criminal Records should also be searched at the
pre-employment level but due to the cost, sometimes employers
do not include it in the screening process. Eliminating this tool
against the fight of fraud can be a costly mistake for the employer
in the long run.
2. Criminal Record Searches on all employees annually.
In some states, signed release or fingerprints are required. The
release should be obtained in pre-employment screening. Searches
are conducted at Federal and State Courts to obtain felony and
misdemeanor information. Note: Without a signed release, the ex-con
knows in many states, you cannot check him/her out!
3. Social Security Number Verification validates the social
security number and reveals additional names associated with the
number. This is a big way to detect fraud.
4. Driving Record Searches annualy on all employees. A
signed release form in many states is required and should be obtained
during the pre-employment screening process. This search identifies
the status of a driver's license as well as any current violations.
5. Employee Loyalty, Honesty and Ethical Work Habits This
covert operation involves investigators to interact with and or
observe the suspected employee while the employees are on the
job. This tool used by employers is useful where there is repeated
inventory shortage.
6. Inventory Shortage Hidden video systems can assist in
controlling inventory shortage and with inventory shortage not
covered by insurance policies, video surveillance is a cost-effective
way to control and deter employee theft.
7. Worker's Compensation Fraud Video surveillance is conducted
by covertly observing and videotaping the claimant's activity and
then with evidence in hand, your insurance carrier can confirm
fraud. This is a cost-effective tool you can use to help control
your workers compensation loss ratio and your experience modifier.
8. Silent Overseer Video surveillance is used to reveal
and employee's activities while working at or away from your premises
and when the surveillance is conducted legally, the tapes can
be used in a court of law.
9. Judgement Collection You won your judgement and now
you can not collect the judgement because the person has either
sold his assets or is now hiding his assets. Investigators will
locate the hidden assets and with the direction of our attorney
and the local sheriff's office, the new founded assets will be
ceased and sold at the courthouse steps to pay your awarded judgement
- $150,000 minimum judgement.
Did You Know?
When the potential employee signs your employment application, have them sign a release allowing their criminal history to be revealed. If the release is not signed in conjunction with their employment application, you will not be allowed by Federal Law to check your employee's criminal records in the state of Georgia at a later date, unless you have a signed release and a copy of his/her fingerprints, and guess what? Every released convict knows their rights.
Blank spaces left on an employment application are the first signs of potential defrauding of one's past.
