Assisting Your Business Through Complex Threats
Allegations of regulatory violations or even criminal behavior have the potential to destroy a business financially and ruin even the most respected and successful company’s reputation. Around the world, the sheer volume and diversity of laws and regulations requiring diligent compliance is daunting. And when regulatory agencies, competitors, internal whistleblowers, or others allege violations, response must be swift and effective.
Participants in the most heavily regulated industries are especially vulnerable – energy, financial services, communications, healthcare, construction, and transportation to name just a few. Secretariat’s experience encompasses nearly every industry and, like the business interests of many of our clients, crosses borders. We regularly work with outside counsel, general counsel, boards of directors, and members of the C-suite to understand and mitigate business risk, helping them evaluate their specific vulnerabilities, establish preventive protocols, and adopt strategies to successfully navigate internal and external investigations, regulatory hearings, and trials.
Our prominent forensic teams – which include forensic accountants, certified fraud examiners, chartered financial analysts, digital forensic specialists, and big data experts – have significant experience in end-to-end prevention, detection, investigation, and remediation of some of the most complex business threats. Today, such threats range from violations of trade regulations to anticompetitive behavior, from employment violations to accounting irregularities, corruption, money laundering, technology theft, outright fraud, and many others. Our ability to capture, compile, document, and communicate our findings clearly is appreciated and respected by regulatory agencies and courts in civil, criminal, or regulatory actions, along with our independence, objectivity, and thoroughness. In other words, there’s no substitute for knowing Secretariat has your back.
