Corporate Fraud Investigators are responsible to investigate frauds involving financial institutions, commercial businesses, and professionals.
What should I do if I uncover a fraud situation in my company? What should I do if a company that I have dealt with has defrauded me?
The answer to the above questions is the same - document, document, document!
Corporate fraud investigations are quite extensive and often very complex. It is important that you gather as much documentation as possible to be included in your police report. It is important to know where your documentation came from and what value it has for investigative purposes.
A statement or summary must accompany your documentation to explain what has happened and why you believe a fraud has occurred. Your documentation must be in some form of order and not simply gathered together in a random fashion.
You MAY be required to provide a forensic audit at your own cost. The Ottawa Police Service does not provide this service. Your file will be reviewed and discussed with you first before any such request for an audit is requested.
