Once a report is received, our experts will assess whether there is a case to answer and allocate the matter to the appropriate department within the client organisation, recommend further independent investigation or refer to law enforcement for criminal matters.

Law Enforcement Liaison

Quest offers access and channels of communication to relevant national and international law enforcement authorities wherever deemed appropriate. Liaison capabilities also extend to customs offices and any other regulatory bodies in the context of integrity management or investigations.

Additional Services

Investigations

With its origins as an investigations and intelligence organisation, Quest conducts proactive and intelligence led investigations into any form of wrongdoing, including, corruption, conflicts of interest, internal grievances, fraud, employee crime, abuse, bullying, harassment, and any other such issues. Quest has a highly sensitive, bespoke suite of services which includes surveillance, evidence gathering, covert human intelligence source development, enhanced due diligence and forensic analysis.

Integrity Risk Assessments

Part of the initial implementation of an independent integrity unit will require a review of relevant policies and procedures to verify that appropriate governance, safeguarding and integrity measures are in place to ensure the integrity of an organisation’s systems and employees. This risk assessment will help to identify vulnerabilities, quantify compliance requirements and create a risk mitigation strategy from the outset, which will be underpinned by robust ongoing monitoring systems.

Integrity Training

Our experts are available to deliver expert training, seminars or other stakeholder engagement sessions in relation to issues such as safeguarding or anti-corruption, which may take the form of an annual address to an Annual General Meeting or tailored sessions with staff.

Security

Quest offers a range of security requirements around important meetings including CCTV security camera installation and monitoring, Technical Surveillance Counter Measures and executive close protection. For more information on our security services, see here.
