ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Our experienced motor accident investigators carry out comprehensive enquiries. Their reports, supported by professional photographs and accurately scaled drawings of the location, can be subsequently used in any litigation process.

CORPORATE THEFT AND FRAUD

The use of modern monitoring equipment and surveillance techniques by Apex International can assist companies when an employee is suspected of defrauding the employer. The resulting evidence can be used to support disciplinary action at Industrial Tribunals or in civil / criminal proceedings. Typical investigations include intellectual property issues, leaking of plans and sensitive material, commercial espionage, cash theft, misappropriation of funds, embezzlement, patent and copyright fraud and any other fraudulent activity between companies, individuals or investors.

CREDIT PROTECTION INSURANCE

Fraudulent claims for redundancy / unemployment, credit debt and personal accident are increasing and under-resourced Government departments are often forced to accept claims at face value. Apex International can monitor suspect claimants’ activities and should these activities deem their claim fraudulent, documentary and video evidence can be provided to support any subsequent action.

EMPLOYEE SCREENING

To prevent serious problems of theft and fraud an employer needs to be sure about an individual before making a job offer. This is done by cross-checking a CV with previous employers and general background enquiries.

EMPLOYER LIABILITY

With claims against employers and their insurers on the increase and in view of the fact that liability policies often carry considerable excess clauses, it is obviously in the interest of both parties to scrutinise the validity of any claim. The expertise of Apex International can often reduce or even negate claims, benefiting both employer and insurer.

MISSING PERSONS

Tracing missing persons can reunite family and friends after many years apart. The task may involve UK, European and Worldwide searches. Also the circumstances surrounding the disappearance will be investigated, the personality and state of mind of the individual will be looked into and friends and relatives interviewed.

MOTOR FRAUD

Apex International provide a complete motor vehicle theft investigation service with a rapid response facility if required. Investigations can include interviewing and taking statements from witnesses, third parties, claimants and, where necessary, the Police. Vehicle documents are thoroughly scrutinised for any evidence of alteration. All investigations are supported by an in-depth report including DVLA information where relevant.

PERMANENT HEALTH INSURANCE

The regular abuse of this type of policy can efficiently countered through discreet enquiry and surveillance by Apex International, once again resulting in substantial savings for the insurance company.
