In addition to numerous manufacturing companies, various service industries are also represented in Wuppertal and the Bergisches Land. Daily, employees in different sectors commit offences, often with criminal character: payroll and expense fraud, feigned illness, theft, corporate espionage and bribery—to name just a few. These acts usually attract attention due to factors such as frequency (for example, sick leave), the magnitude of damages (for example, theft) or customer complaints (for example, billing fraud). However, in most cases, the suspects do not act carelessly; it often takes some time before their activities give rise to concrete suspicions, and the resulting damages can accumulate significantly.
To uncover such offences, our IHK-certified corporate detectives employ various investigative methods, including surveillance, research, covert placement in the company and covert interviews. If you suspect one or more employees of deliberately harming your business, Kurtz Detective Agency Wuppertal will investigate the matter and, upon confirmation of suspicion, provide court-admissible evidence: +49 202 5289 0063.
Employee surveillance can be time-consuming, depending on the suspicion, specific circumstances and the cleverness of the offender. Especially in cases of serious suspicions and high-value damages, the time-intensive but insightful method of undercover placement is recommended. In this procedure, one of our Wuppertal detectives is employed as a regular staff member in your company. Equipped with a credible background and the necessary skills for the job, they establish contact with the target person or circle of suspects, spend time with them, build a collegial or even friendly relationship, and obtain insider information that is withheld from management. The ability to move freely within the company as a regular employee significantly facilitates evidence collection and documentation.
Undercover placement involves considerable costs, but in most cases this measure produces positive results on multiple levels. Not only can perpetrators of known offences be identified or brought to court, but management also gains comprehensive insights into company operations, which can lead to the detection of additional harmful acts, efficiency improvements, and a better assessment of individual employees. We are happy to explain this procedure in detail during a personal consultation.
