Intellectual Property
A large financial services organisation suspected internal fraud after detecting irregularities in expense claims and procurement records. CurbyMcLintock was engaged to conduct an independent investigation, leveraging forensic accounting, digital forensics, and data analytics expertise to identify suspicious transactions and aid in interviewing relevant personnel. Our team uncovered a collusion scheme involving multiple employees and external vendors, resulting in significant financial loss. The evidence enabled the client to take swift disciplinary action, recover assets, and implement enhanced controls to prevent future incidents.
A government department faced allegations of workplace bullying and harassment, allegedly perpetrated in person and via internal chat communication services. These issues were impacting staff morale and productivity. CurbyMcLintock conducted a sensitive, impartial investigation, which included the forensic collection and analysis of electronic evidence, interviews with witnesses, and a thorough review of communications.
Our approach uncovered patterns of inappropriate behaviour and systemic management issues. The findings enabled the department to take appropriate disciplinary action and implement new policies, targeted training, and leadership changes, restoring a safe and respectful work environment for all employees.
A multinational corporation received a complaint of sexual harassment involving senior staff. CurbyMcLintock was appointed to investigate, ensuring confidentiality and compliance with legal requirements. Through forensic analysis of digital evidence and discreet interviews, we substantiated the allegations and identified gaps in the company’s reporting mechanisms for reporting misconduct. Our recommendations led to improved reporting channels, mandatory training, and a renewed commitment to workplace safety and inclusivity.
CurbyMcLintock was engaged by a large Commonwealth Government Department to conduct two separate independent investigations into allegations of undue influence was applied and procurement processes were tailored to ensure the engagement of preferred suppliers for contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The allegations also related to potential corrupt conduct, with claims that senior APS staff and politicians received kickbacks for facilitating the engagement of successful suppliers through third-party intermediaries. The investigation was complex and required CurbyMcLintock to utilise a multi-disciplinary team including investigators, forensic accountants, digital forensics experts, and open source and social media intelligence (OSINT/SOCMINT) specialists to identify, analyse and synthesis relevant evidence. Our findings and the outcomes of their investigations were provided to the appropriate national anti-corruption body for further consideration.
A global company sought to recover assets lost to a business email compromise scheme. CurbyMcLintock was engaged through a law firm, operating under legal professional privilege, and combined forensic accounting, digital forensic analysis and cross-jurisdictional intelligence to trace funds through shell companies and offshore accounts. Our efforts led to the identification and recovery of substantial assets. The client adopted new controls to safeguard against future financial crime, including upskilling staff on potential fraud schemes.
A technology firm experienced intellectual property theft when proprietary designs were leaked to competitors. CurbyMcLintock’s forensic team investigated digital records, employee communications, open source and social media sources and external partnerships. The investigation pinpointed the source of the leak, being a former employee, and provided evidence for legal action. The client successfully protected its IP, reinforced data security protocols, and educated staff on confidentiality obligations.
