In 2022, fraud cost consumers $8.8 billion, according to the Federal Trade Commission. That was up 44% from 2021. It’s hard to even wrap your head around a number like that and just how pervasive and damaging fraud can be.
Now, more than ever, companies need to be able to identify fraud with enough evidence to fight it when it occurs.
At Diligence, we’re companies’ one-stop shop for corporate investigations into a wide range of fraudulent activities. While we’ve done a number of life insurance investigations, our skills also translate into due diligence, surveillance, and international investigations.
Let’s discuss a few different types of investigations that we can help our clients with beyond life insurance claims.
International Investigations
Many companies operate at an international level, meaning that they could have employees or clients throughout the world. It can get complicated when you need to investigate a claim or track down court or medical records from another country.
That’s why we’ve spent years developing relationships around the globe. Here are some of the countries we’ve worked in just this year:
Argentina
Brazil
Cambodia
Canada
China
Columbia
Ecuador
Ethiopia
France
Gambia
Ghana
Guam
Haiti
Hungary
India
Iran
Iraq
Israel
Italy
Jamaica
Laos
Mexico
Netherlands
Philippines
Romania
Saudi Arabia
Scotland
Suriname
Switzerland
Taiwan
Vietnam
With our knowledge, we’re able to help clients validate data and track down information that they need no matter where it’s at in the world. In the field, our investigators know the local protocol and can gather data through the proper channel efficiently.
Due Diligence
A traditional background check might work for most employees, but what happens when you bring on someone who is supposed to be the face of your company? That person opens you up to a lot of liability, so it’s important you know exactly who you’re dealing with.
At Diligence, we can deep dive into arrest records, international databases, social media accounts, and more to make sure your company is making informed decisions.
It’s important that corporations feel confident when they bring someone new on board or when they merge with another company. Something that you miss can easily become front-page news if you’re not careful.
Disability & Healthcare Investigations
Another area that can get complicated for the average investigator is when you start looking for evidence of healthcare fraud. Some information will be protected, so we know how to look at the information that’s available and connect the dots.
That can include looking into health claims, investigating healthcare providers or clinics, confirming someone is still alive, disability claims, and travel claims.
Our Commitment to Accuracy & Excellence
Excellence is in the details. Taking the time to ensure total accuracy of information. Our track record is built on thousands of successful projects. It is the result of treating each project as if it alone defines everything we are.
Every one of our projects starts by listening to our clients. Once we understand your needs, we will craft the optimal solution for your unique circumstance.
Your Corporate Investigation Partner
That’s just a small glimpse into all the things our team can investigate at Diligence International Group. Come to us for all your investigation needs. We want to build long-term relationships with our clients.
We do not sacrifice client relationships for short-term gain. Our business model only works by giving clients the most value – above and beyond what they expect. That’s where loyalty comes from, and that means everything to us.
That’s why we build each project on a foundation of clear and consistent communication directly with clients. Clients get regular updates through email and via our secure, proprietary Case Management System client portal.
How Do You Prevent Fraud?
While we often are brought into the conversation after fraud has been committed and needs to be investigated, we’ve also developed a tool that can help keep fraud from happening. We’ve used our knowledge to develop a suite of software called Prodigi. This helps validate your data at the application stage before someone is given access to a life insurance policy, mortgage, loan, or more.
If you’d like to learn more about Prodigi or connect with us for your corporate investigation needs, feel free to reach out to us.
