Internal & External Investigations
No matter how hard you might try to prevent it, corporate crime is an equal-opportunity threat that can strike any entity. Be ready.
Whether the investigation is internal or in response to an enforcement action or litigation, the thoroughness and quality of your investigation will affect everything that happens next.
The PwC Investigations & Forensic teams combine our investigative experience and advanced technology with industry and regulatory knowledge to assist clients and their counsel during investigations to help create and execute on the investigative strategy and identify remediation plans. We strive to advise and assist clients to tailor investigative/forensic responses to each specific minor or major business threat to balance good corporate governance with risks or delays in operations due to the matter.
We understand the importance of reacting quickly and confidently to a crisis situation. We appreciate the need to understand the facts around allegations and potential wrong-doings in an effort to safeguard your company's assets and reputation, prevent recurrences, and arrive at a resolution with as little disruption as possible to your business.
