Factual Investigator

Circumstantial Investigations

In the modern world, where claims, disputes, and allegations can have severe ramifications, the need for factual investigation cannot be stressed enough.

What makes factual investigation especially important is its undeniable emphasis on genuine and precise evidence collection, analysis and presentation. This ensures that any conclusion drawn is based on verifiable facts and not merely on assumptions or incomplete information. In such complex scenarios, having experts who specialise in Factual Investigation becomes essential.

In addition to our covert investigation services, we also offer high-quality evidence and information gathering for incidents that have already taken place (circumstantial or factual investigations). Particularly in the course of a corporate investigation, or if it appears that fraudulent claims have been made, there is a need to gather coherent, reliable evidence to build a suitable case. There are specific procedures that need to be followed in order to gather evidence correctly. If you’re completing a workplace investigation and want to ensure high-calibre evidence is collected, Rivica is an ideal place to help.
