CREATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR INVESTIGATIONS

Director’sIntroduction

Today we face incredible changes in the global business environment and revolution in digital technologies. It has never been more critical to meet your business & customers’ needs and to ensure that your organization’s most precious assets and information are protected against theft or misuse, and the integrity of the people you do business with is legitimate.

Underpinning the necessity to protect your business success is the assurance of absolute compliance with both internal & external regulatory requirements. Increasingly, we identify that a minority of individuals will seek personal gain or enrichment, to the cost of their employer or business partners, through deliberate wrongdoing; taking advantage of exploiting any existing weaknesses in host-systems or process control mechanisms.

Our core management team has been built with over 100 years of aggregate experience gained in all facets of Forensics, Business Intelligence & Retail Fraud Prevention using electronic and criminalistics tools across all the five major continents. At CSI Group, we recognize that our expertise,competencies & integrity are our greatest assets. Collectively & individually, all CSI Group employees are measured not only on performance & client satisfaction but by emphasizing the importance of doing the right thing.

By entrusting our expertise, and by working hand-in-hand with your key stake-holders, CSI Group guarantees to provide your organization with an unbiased, independent & bespoke assessment in all the above key operational areas, within pre-agreed timeframes.
