Theft or embezzlement within your company? We deliver the evidence.

Are stock items disappearing, are finances being manipulated, or do you suspect embezzlement by an employee? We investigate in complete confidence and deliver evidence that holds up in court.

Theft & Embezzlement Investigation

Disappearing inventory, unexplained cash shortages, or an employee who consistently spends beyond what their salary allows — theft and embezzlement within an organisation are deeply disruptive. They affect not only your bottom line but also trust in the workplace. Yet taking action without evidence is risky: an unfounded accusation can prove legally costly. SAJ Recherche provides the concrete evidence you need to act — discreetly, professionally, and legally admissible.

What we investigate

What do we investigate?

We establish the facts, scope, and parties involved. Through surveillance, we discreetly monitor suspected employees. In inventory and cash investigations, we analyse discrepancies and irregularities. Through digital investigation, we examine access logs, camera footage, and email correspondence. With pattern analysis, we map out when and how the irregularities occur. All findings are documented in a report suitable for dismissal, criminal complaints, or damage claims.

When should you engage us?

Employers approach us when they encounter persistent inventory discrepancies, cash shortages that coincide with specific shifts, signs that an employee is taking company property, suspicions of financial embezzlement, a conspicuous lifestyle relative to salary, or unexplained write-offs. The sooner you act, the smaller the damage. In most cases, we start within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have an employee investigated without their knowledge?
Yes, provided there is a reasonable suspicion and the investigation is proportional. We always verify this beforehand.

Yes. Our reports are prepared to meet the evidentiary requirements that subdistrict court judges set for urgent cause.
What if the theft is committed by multiple people?
We also investigate group patterns and can expand the investigation if necessary.
How do you prevent the investigation from leaking?
We work with strict protocols. Only the client and the lead investigator know the details.
How much does a theft investigation cost?
That depends on the scope and the required methods. After the intake, you will receive a clear quote.
