Corporate FraudInvestigations
Professional corporate fraud and employee misconduct investigations across South Wales. Detect embezzlement, workplace theft, data breaches, and corporate espionage with court-admissible evidence from private investigators actually based in Wales.
What Is Corporate Fraud?
Corporate fraud encompasses any deceptive or dishonest activity committed by employees, directors, or external parties that causes financial or reputational damage to a business. At South Wales Private Investigations, we specialise in detecting, documenting, and preventing corporate fraud across Welsh businesses, from small enterprises to large corporations.
Unlike many national investigation firms claiming to serve Wales, we're actually based here in Rhigos, Aberdare (CF44 9RJ). This means we have genuine local knowledge of Welsh business communities, established relationships with local authorities, and can conduct field investigations across South Wales within 25 miles of our base – covering Cardiff, Swansea, Merthyr Tydfil, Pontypridd, and surrounding areas.
Our corporate fraud investigations combine traditional investigative techniques with modern digital forensics, surveillance technology, and financial analysis. We work discreetly to gather court-admissible evidence whilst minimising disruption to your business operations. Whether you suspect employee theft, embezzlement, data breaches, or corporate espionage, we provide the evidence you need to take decisive action.
