General and Financial Investigations
Businesses lose billions annually to fraud. Recent reports
released by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners
estimate that the average U.S. business loses about 6% of gross
revenue to all forms of occupational fraud and abuse. Add to
this figure workplace issues, the potential theft of trade
secrets, product counterfeiting/diversion, and the need becomes
apparent for business entities to protect resources and mitigate
risk.

accounting, research, business intelligence, finance, law,

Protection of Intellectual Property Patents
and Trade Secrets
Corporations sustain billions of dollars of Intellectual
Property losses as a result of product infringement,
counterfeiting, theft of trade secrets, diversion of products
and the improper use of trademarks.
As companies expand their operations across global borders, the
threat of patent, copyright and trademark infringement grows
significantly. Protecting trade secrets and other corporate
proprietary information becomes increasingly more problematic
for companies and their shareholders.
CARCO has extensive experience in the development of information
to assist our clients in combating this growing exposure. By
global strategic partnering we extend our "reach" to:
Develop
working relationships with "in country" resources to provide
timely and
accurate
product
intelligence.

the manufacturing and distribution sources of counterfeit
product.

local law enforcement/and regulators to coordinate "buys",
seizures and
plant
closures.
Develop custom
computer applications to track pertinent data.
