CORPORATE INVESTIGATOR INDIA

Investigation could be defined as “Systematic process of Fact Finding”. It is based on observation, examination, search, research and gathering of factual information. It finally leads to the logical conclusion. Robert Herrick said “attempt the end and never stand to doubt: nothing is so hard but search will find out”. “Corporate” basically means “forming one body of many individuals”. And it is an accepted fact that “Humans are the weakest links in Security”. The objectives and perspectives of a company are different from its work force. Any ignorant or “malafide” intent on the part of its human resource could spell trouble for the company. Corporate are often facing innumerable and innovating modus operandi about trust and security. Corruption on the part of Employees and the malafide activities remote-controlled by competitors bring bad reputation, loss of goodwill and notional troubles for Corporate.

The scope of Corporate-Investigation is ever-increasing. Institutional operations require constant vigil to explore strength and weakness of a business system and its operating organs. The exercise is a aimed at identifying loop holes and seal them effectively.

Corporate Houses are not geared up to tackle the problem internally. They do not have trained man-power to exercise vigilance within the organization .Then again the covert disruptive operations launched by competitors and inimical forces have to be identified, investigated and reported upon for action to thwart the aggression from outside. Law enforcement agencies generally do not take cognizance of internal frauds, embezzlements and covert activities of outsiders as these do not directly fall within their jurisdiction of defined duties and are not cognizable by them suo motto . Private Detectives and Investigators have to be deployed to inquire in to the matter. However, every Private Investigator or Detective is not trained or oriented to conduct Corporate and Financial Investigation; Trade mark Violations or other infringements pertaining to Intellectual Property Rights. Corporate Investigators must have knowledge, expertise and experience to master the art of this specialized subject. Knowledge of Law and the judicial process involved is a must.

Essential qualities of a Corporate Investigator can best be summed up as “It requires a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious”- Alfred North Whiteenhead. It invites some innate and acquired qualities in a corporate investigator. He has to be observant, resourceful, energetic, hardworking, receptive, intuitive, reasonable, logical, fundamental, ethical and patient. He has to keep in mind basic objectives of Investigation.

The main purpose of engaging Corporate Investigator is to outsource the job of removing obstacles from the path of a Corporate House. The progression of a Corporate has to be achieved by focused attention of the top management team. If their energies are diverted to fight out corporate battles, the main objective of the Company goes haywire. Then again, Corporate Investigator is an expert who can deal with the problem more effectively.

About ninety percent of top fortune five hundred companies engage Corporate  Investigators to solve their problems. Last year’s estimate of expenditure on this front by those companies exceeded one hundred and fifty billion dollars. But it is not an  “expenditure” it is actually an “investment” as Corporate Investigation can help prevent loss of goodwill and loss of profit which is of many fold magnitude. It is, therefore, a sound management policy to engage professional Corporate Investigator.
