Business Crimes:

In thriving economies, as well as in recession, businesses experience losses due to illegal acts on the part of their employees. Whether these acts involve the furnishing of company banking information to outsiders, enabling a check forging scheme, directly embezzling company funds, or receiving kick-backs from company vendors, ESI International, Inc. can identify those responsible, attempt to obtain restitution, and refer the matter to law enforcement in a manner that facilitates prosecution of the guilty parties.

Unlike most private investigation firms, our background is in dealing with criminals and their fraudulent schemes. This makes ESI International, Inc. the number one choice when it comes to dealing with criminal problems in the workplace.

Case Studies:

Through a routine audit, a manufacturer of heavy equipment determined that a once profitable assembly operation was operating in the red, despite an upturn in business. ESI International was engaged to determine if the red ink was a sign of internal theft. Working with company auditors, ESI International’s investigators determined that the company freight bills were excessive.

In conducting the investigation, ESI International, Inc. determined that the company’s freight manager had set up fictional freight brokers in his own name, and in the names of others, and was submitting bills for the movement of fictional freight. The scheme, which had been hatched several years before, illegally funneled nearly a million dollars to the freight manager to finance his gambling addiction.

ESI International gathered the accounting and banking records necessary for prosecution, and then closed the loop by obtaining statements from vendors, conspirators, and ultimately, obtained a signed confession from the freight manager.
