Corporate Investigations - Primerio Forensics

Overview

Rigorous standards

We don’t just find fraud—we build cases that stick. Our corporate investigations are designed from the outset for legal scrutiny, maintaining rigorous chain-of-custody protocols and evidence standards that survive challenge in disciplinary hearings, civil courts, and criminal proceedings

A seasoned team of lawyers

Our multi-disciplinary team integrates forensic accounting, digital analysis, and legal alignment to deliver findings that are admissible, defensible, and strategically aligned to your objectives.

Capabilities that stretch

Our fraud investigation capability spans financial fraud, payroll manipulation, expense abuse, procurement irregularities, and asset misappropriation.

Tracing Investigations

We trace the path of forensics

We trace funds, quantify losses, identify perpetrators, and package evidence for internal action or external prosecution-including referrals to SAPS, Hawks (DPCI), and the NPA.

Where conflicts of interest or lifestyle audits are required, our investigators conduct discreet, thorough analysis that supports both internal HR processes and formal legal proceedings

Corruption Investigations

Independence and clarity

Corruption investigations demand precision and independence. We investigate bribery, tender manipulation, supply chain fraud, and corrupt relationships between employees and third parties-conducting covert financial analysis, third-party due diligence, and sworn interview processes that build findings capable of withstanding legal challenges

We are independent

Our independence from audit mandates means no compromised objectivity: we are retained to uncover truth, not protect relationships.

We bring digital to forensics

Modern corporate fraud leaves digital footprints. Our investigators integrate digital forensics-device imaging, email reconstruction, log analysis, and cloud platform extraction-into every investigation.

Evidence packages

Every investigation concludes with a complete evidence package: forensic report, affidavits, exhibit bundles, and case files prepared for your next step-whether disciplinary proceedings, civil litigation, regulatory referral, or criminal prosecution

We assess and triage whistle-blower disclosures with rigour and discretion
Provide ongoing expert support through hearings, arbitrations, and recovery proceedings to ensure outcomes are realised, not just reported.
