Corporate
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.
How does the investigation work?
You discuss your suspicions with us. We assess whether an investigation is proportional and permissible.
We draw up a targeted plan using the appropriate methods.
Our investigators carry out the investigation discreetly. The subject remains unaware.
You receive a report with evidence and advice on next steps such as dismissal or filing a criminal complaint.
