CRA’s Risk, Investigations & Analytics team was engaged by a Brazilian food company to investigate potential conflicts of interest involving the company’s commercial director, employees from other departments, and suppliers.
Our investigations team identified and mapped out companies directly and indirectly related to the suspected employees and their immediate family members. We also conducted a similar analysis for the partners of the suspected supplier companies, identifying over 250 names. Our forensic accountants cross-referenced the list with the company’s accounting and financial records, uncovering supplier entities controlled by employees of the company. Our findings aided outside Counsel in its legal action against these individuals and suppliers.
