Expense and Billing Fraud in Hanover

As the headquarters of numerous major corporations such as Continental AG, German WABCO, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Bahlsen GmbH & Co. KG, Hanover is the largest employment centre in Lower Saxony. Almost 120,000 commuters travel daily to their workplace in the region. Many employees carry out their assigned tasks independently and are required to document them truthfully. Problems arise when employees provide false information to the detriment of the employing company. For this reason, the economic detectives of Kurtz Investigations Hanover conduct employee monitoring of your field staff: +49 511 2028 0016.

Breach of Trust by Independent Employees – Surveillance Provides Proof

The relationship between field representatives, drivers, external contractors and other company staff and the business is based on trust. The lack of supervision and the relative independence of these professional groups tempt some individuals to pass private expenses on to the company – repairs to a daughter’s car billed via the company vehicle, visits to a grandmother, a rendezvous declared as a business dinner, and so forth. The situation becomes even more serious when field staff fail to attend appointments at all, ultimately perform no work, yet still invoice in full. This constitutes fraud, more precisely billing fraud – a criminal offence and, in the long term, a significant financial loss for the entrepreneur.

 

If you believe you have become a victim of billing fraud, the economic detectives of Kurtz Investigations Hanover can assist you. We investigate within the suspect’s environment and, if necessary, conduct surveillance in order to provide you with certainty. Kurtz Investigations Hanover looks forward to your call or your email: kontakt@kurtz-detektei-hannover.de.

In the case of field staff who are less than precise about their working hours, it has indeed occurred that our detectives have observed them on a family cycling excursion while their timesheets recorded a full working day.

Media City Hanover – Numerous Freelance and Self-Employed Professionals

Hanover is home to a large number of prominent media companies, including radio and television broadcasters such as Norddeutscher Rundfunk, ZDF and Sat.1, production companies such as TV+ Fernsehproduktion, as well as publishing houses and newspapers such as Heise Verlag, Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung and Neue Presse. It is characteristic of many professions in the media sector that employees are either engaged on a freelance basis or, even as permanent staff, enjoy relatively flexible working hours. Such freedoms can present temptations to disregard applicable law and to disadvantage the employer through false expense claims and inaccurate work records. Our detectives in Hanover investigate.
