A Factual or Circumstance Investigation involves gathering detailed information and evidence to establish the facts of a case, issue, or event. In insurance and workplace investigations, this process includes accessing relevant documents, conducting interviews, and obtaining witness statements to determine the circumstances surrounding an incident, injury, or occurrence.

At ABi, these investigations are conducted to:

Assist in decision-making regarding liability and claims.

Examine negligence—determining who was at fault.

Investigate third-party negligence and potential recovery opportunities.

Analyse additional aspects related to the incident, injury, or event.

Our reports include comprehensive evidence and findings, such as:

Analysis of the circumstances leading to the investigation.

Witness statements and firsthand accounts.

Video and photographic evidence to support claims.

Employment and financial records for verification.

Medical and accident records where applicable.

Secondary investigations such as safety, police, or fire reports.

ABi’s thorough and professional approach ensures that every case is handled with accuracy, integrity, and attention to detail, helping clients make informed decisions based on reliable, well-documented evidence.

Pre-Employment Screening

ABi’s pre-employment screening services are designed to assist businesses in selecting the most suitable, honest, and reliable candidates. By identifying dishonest or unsuitable applicants, our screening process helps organisations build a culture of trust, integrity, and corporate governance while reducing risks associated with fraud, dishonesty, and poor performance.

Why Pre-Employment Screening Matters?

• Prevents fraud and misconduct before it happens
• Ensures candidates possess the skills and experience they claim
• Protects the company’s reputation and financial security
• Deters unqualified or dishonest applicants from applying

Our Pre-Employment Screening Process Includes:

• Education and qualification verification
• Employment history and reference checks
• Civil litigation history
• Bankruptcy and financial stability assessments

Skip tracing is the process of identifying and locating individuals or witnesses who are difficult to find. This service is crucial for legal, financial, and investigative purposes, such as locating debtors, missing persons, or witnesses required for legal proceedings.

The Skip Tracing Process:

1. Verification – ABi reviews the provided information to establish a clear profile of the subject.
2. Data Collection – We gather additional records and intelligence to track their whereabouts.
3. Analysis & Verification – The collected data is analysed and cross-referenced to confirm the most up-to-date and accurate location details.

Common Sources Used for Skip Tracing:

• Phone number databases
• Credit reports and financial history
• Employment records and job applications
• Criminal background checks
• Utility bills (phone, water, gas, electricity, etc.)
• Social media activity and digital footprint
• General online public records

While some records are publicly accessible, others require licensed access or legal authorisation. As a professional investigation firm, ABi has the resources, expertise, and legal authority to conduct discreet and effective skip tracing.

• Corporate and workplace misconduct (e.g., employee theft or policy violations).
