Corporate Investigations

---

Organizations today face the daunting possibility of allegations of wrongdoing from various sources—shareholders, anonymous whistleblowers, regulatory agencies, employees, vendors, customers, and suppliers. Often, the board or audit committee and management must respond rapidly to these allegations in order to mitigate potential financial losses that could arise from adverse publicity, reactions from the financial market, or even the risk of regulatory enforcement actions. Shelton Investigations specializes in assisting clients with financial investigations and evaluating allegations of fraud or other wrongdoing involving management, employees, or third parties. We leverage our expertise in accounting, investigative techniques, financial analysis, technology, and industry resources to respond swiftly and thoroughly to a variety of allegations, including: bank fraud, breaches of employee agreements, employee embezzlement and theft, fictitious vendor schemes, financial investigations, financial statement misrepresentations, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations, harassment, improper accounting for employee benefits and stock option grants, inappropriate related-party transactions, inappropriate revenue and expense recognition, kickbacks and self-dealing, money laundering, rogue trading, and theft of trade secrets.
