Private Investigations

T&M provides a variety of investigative services through its Private Investigations division. Led by Nick Himonidis, J.D., CFE, CCFS, who has an extensive background in investigations, computer forensics and law, Private Investigations offers clients discreet and personal assistance in the following areas:

Corporate Investigations
Fraud and related monetary losses cost U.S. businesses hundreds of millions of dollars every year, not including the liabilities associated with other workplace misconduct, such as sexual harassment. Add to this the theft of intellectual property and it's easy to see that threats to business can come from any direction at any time. T&M Private Investigations can help contain these risks with responsive services and proactive prevention strategies.

  • Embezzlement/Theft/Unexplained Losses
  • Business Fraud
  • Conflicts of Interests

  • Loyalty/Integrity Investigations
  • Counterfeit Products/Trademark Infringement
  • Corporate Espionage/Sabotage 

Due Diligence/Corporate Compliance
Beyond the risks of profit or loss, compliance with state and federal laws requires even more vigilance from companies, especially public companies. Negative headlines and catastrophic losses have prompted lawmakers to pass even stricter reporting, accounting and security requirements. The regulatory landscape is complicated and the penalties harsh. In the twenty-first century, there are fewer safe harbors for honest executives. Compliance with SOX and other regulatory laws requires companies to scrutinize the activities of their employees, their vendors, their partners and others, if they want to fully discharge their burdens and avoid liability. T&M can assist clients in meeting these ever-increasing burdens of diligence.
