Forensic Investigation Services
From a red flag to a referral-ready case file.
Independent forensic investigation triggered by whistleblower disclosures or anomaly flags — gathering and preserving evidence, quantifying loss and producing a referral-ready case file that feeds straight into consequence management and, where thresholds are met, law-enforcement referral.

What you get
- Evidence gathering
- Loss quantification
- Referral-ready file
Why it matters
Close the loop between a red flag and a real consequence.
A red flag is only the beginning. A Benford anomaly, a split-PO cluster or a whistleblower tip-off tells you something may be wrong — but turning that suspicion into a disciplinary outcome, a recovery, or a criminal referral requires a properly conducted investigation, with evidence gathered and preserved to a standard that holds up.
Forensic investigation services pick up exactly where the platform's detection ends. When AuditPro Core's anomaly engine or whistleblower channel raises a flag, our investigators establish the facts, preserve the evidence, quantify the loss and assemble a case file built to survive scrutiny — then feed it straight back into the consequence-management workflow.
Done poorly, investigations collapse on procedural or evidential weakness and the wrongdoer walks. Done properly, they close the accountability loop — the difference between flagging irregular expenditure and actually recovering it and sanctioning those responsible.

FAQ
Questions entities ask before they engage.
When should an investigation be independent?
Wherever objectivity could be questioned — matters involving senior officials, conflicts of interest, or anything destined for a disciplinary hearing or court. Independence is what makes the case file defensible.
What triggers an investigation?
Typically a whistleblower disclosure or an anomaly flag raised in AuditPro Core, but any credible indicator of irregularity, fraud or misconduct can open a case.
What do we receive at the end?
A documented, evidence-backed case file with the loss quantified — ready to drive a disciplinary outcome and recovery, and to refer to SAPS or the DPCI where a PRECCA threshold is met.
