Investigations Report

Unfortunately, experts estimate that a third of American workers have stolen on the job. Although "internal theft" and "employee fraud" are commonly used, a more encompassing term is "asset misappropriation." There are many ways to misappropriate employers' assets, anything from personal use of company equipment, to theft of supplies and materials, to theft of money.

Report

This company is amazing! On more than one occasion they have retrieved dozens of legal documents from North Dakota courthouses in a very short period of time. Highly recommend.
