Veritas Global Information and Risk Consultants

Technology has greatly expanded the means and methods for defrauding individuals and corporations. Veritas' team of experts is experienced in investigating complex fraud cases and locating hidden assets. Our staff routinely investigates internal and external fraud matters for Fortune 100 corporations, private equity funds and smaller companies victimized by fraudulent schemes. Our team of forensic accountants and forensic information technology experts can quickly assess a situation, preserve evidence and locate/seize assets. Veritas Global's professionals are well-respected by local, state, federal and international law enforcement agencies and regularly work closely with them on investigations.

The adoption of new technology has brought many new security threats to corporations. These threats can originate from your own employees or criminal enterprises from around the world. Our IT professionals have conducted many complex computer intrusion investigations and security assessments of corporate networks. Our staff is expert in collecting and preserving electronic evidence in support of corporate and legal investigations. Additionally, our global reach will help ensure that perpetrators outside the United States can be identified and referred to law enforcement for appropriate action.

It only takes one poorly conducted background investigation to jeopardize the reputation and assets of a corporation. Veritas' team of experts will ensure that you have all available information on an individual or corporation to allow you to make the most informed decisions relating to employment, vendor selection, and contemplated mergers or acquisitions.

The explosion in technology has led to increased use of sophisticated electronic means of information gathering. Our experienced staff can help determine whether a competitor or disgruntled employee has placed a "bug" or hidden camera in a vital area, which can lead to theft of competitive information. We can also design and install tracking systems for assets, vehicles and personnel.

Protection of a company's intellectual property, to include domain names, trademarks, and patents, is its lifeblood in a global competitive marketplace. Competitors use a variety of methods to appropriate trade secrets resulting in a threat to a company's brand and reputation. Veritas Global's staff is well experienced in investigating thefts of trade secrets and implementing IT security programs to prevent further misappropriations. Our counterfeiting investigations have ranged from pharmaceutical products to fashion and accessories. These investigations are accomplished through the use of sophisticated investigative techniques to include physical surveillances and undercover operations.

Legal cases often turn as much on the credibility of the witnesses as on the evidence itself. Locating a previously unknown witness in possession of critical information and/or evidence can change the direction of a case dramatically. Veritas can assists attorneys by locating witnesses, interviewing and assessing the credibility of witnesses, comprehensive computer forensics, as well as through fingerprint, DNA and polygraph analysis.

Despite the advances in electronic surveillance methods, in certain instances there is no substitute for conducting a physical surveillance of a person or premises in support of a corporate or legal investigation. Our experienced and highly trained surveillance staff regularly obtain critical information and evidence through the utilization of this sophisticated technique.
