Investigation & Intelligence ↗

Corporate & Workplace Investigations

Something has happened inside or around your organisation and you need an independent investigation of what happened.

Discuss this instruction ↗

Ghosthawk can investigate a defined allegation or concern, gather and test the relevant evidence, speak to the people involved and report what the evidence supports — while leaving HR, legal and disciplinary decisions with you.

How the instruction develops

Define the allegation. Test the evidence. Report the factual position.

The exact method can change as the evidence develops, but the objective, authority and professional phase remain clear. Further work is only added where it would materially advance the instruction.

01

Understand the allegation

Review what is alleged, the information already held and the questions the investigation needs to answer.

02

Gather and test the evidence

Review records, obtain relevant accounts and pursue the enquiries needed to test competing explanations.

03

Report what the evidence supports

Bring the evidence and chronology together, clearly identifying what is supported, contradicted or still unresolved.

What you receive

A usable outcome — not just activity.

The output is an independent factual record designed to support the client’s own legal, HR, governance or management decision-making.

01

Evidence-based findings

A structured account of the evidence, interviews and enquiries relevant to the agreed allegations or questions.

02

Evidence and chronology

A clear record of material evidence, chronology, inconsistencies and evidential gaps identified during the investigation.

03

Investigation report

Findings that distinguish established fact, sourced information, assessment, limitation and matters that remain unresolved.

Defined scope

Clear scope before work starts.

Ghosthawk agrees what the instruction or authorised phase is intended to establish and the professional effort included before work begins.

Investigation scopes

Alternative starting scopes, not sequential charges. Ghosthawk agrees the appropriate level from the allegation, evidence volume and enquiry or interview requirements.
