Fraud Prevention Solutions
Sharpline Investigations specializes in corporate fraud prevention solutions. Our private investigators implement and improve existing internal controls to help prevent fraud before it occurs. Combating fraud before it occurs ensures businesses remain proactive in the fight against fraud.
Sharpline Investigations helps corporations on improving their fraud prevention and detection techniques. Sharpline’s lead corporate private investigator is a Certified Fraud Examiner with proven expertise in fraud prevention, detection, and deterrence.
Background Check
Not doing a background check on your employees can cost your business in theft, embezzlement, a lawsuit, or even worse, a deadly shooting. There is no universal way to perform a background check. The level of depth and scope will vary based on the job position. A background check for a construction worker will not be the same as one for a high level manager. A background check on an individual will differ greatly from a background check performed on an organization. Our background check can be as comprehensive or as narrow as you need, depending on your requirements.
Sharpline utilizes cutting edge software to conduct various background checks for your specific needs. The information received is verified by our private investigators to compare and analyze the obtained data. All of our background checks comply with the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act.
CCTV and Access Control
We provide you with the ability to take a proactive approach in your fight against fraud. Sharpline Investigations utilizes the highest quality surveillance and access control systems on the market. Our surveillance technicians are also certified electricians with the ability to customize a surveillance and access control package to fit your specific needs. Whether you need video cameras inside or outside of your establishment, keyless door entry, or biometrics, Sharpline Investigations has you covered.
Corporate Fraud Risk Assessment
A corporate Fraud Risk Assessment is a comprehensive review of your business’s procedures on fraud detection and deterrence methods. The review is designed to highlight weaknesses, if any, in your existing internal control systems. This review will provide management with recommendations for proactive fraud deterrence and detection programs. These programs are set in place to detect, prevent and deter fraud, waste and abuse within your organization.

Ethics & Fraud Hotline
A recent 2018 study conducted by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners found that fraud losses were 50% smaller at organizations with hotlines than those without one. Our 24/7/365 Ethics & Fraud Hotline is specifically designed for small to mid-sized businesses. Your organization is provided with a complimentary Ethics and Anti-Fraud training so that they know what fraud and unethical behavior is, how to identify it, and how to report it properly. Our Ethics and Fraud Hotline is added seamlessly to your existing internal controls. This complete reporting program provides your employees with the confidence to report any unethical or fraudulent behavior within your business.
Internal Control System
Small businesses are the most vulnerable when it comes to fraud. This is due to a lack of resources and capital required for implementing a complete system of internal controls. This does not need to be the case. Sharpline Investigations specializes in assisting small to mid-sized businesses with implementing a complete system of internal controls. First, we conduct a Fraud Risk Assessment which analyzes and checks your current controls. We then install an affordable and easy to use comprehensive fraud prevention software system engineered for fraud prevention. And best of all, this system is all you need for your complete system of internal controls.
