Independent Workplace Investigations Across NZ
Corporate Investigations
Our business investigation services are built on decades of experience in serious crime investigations.
For independent workplace investigations, we work closely with boards, senior executives, and legal counsel to discreetly investigate complex matters to a standard that holds up in court.
Factual Investigations
Factual investigators in NZ cover desktop research, document analysis, witness interviews, and evidence collation.
Our desktop investigator capabilities draw on extensive access to public and specialist databases, combined with the analytical rigour our team developed across decades of operational policing.
Finding People
The Veritas team are experts in finding people, even those that don’t want to be found. Our find people service in Auckland and throughout NZ supports deceased estates, debt recovery, witness location, and reconnecting families.
With access to specialist tracing databases and the investigative instincts that come from senior policing careers, we ensure the process is handled professionally and on time.
Cultural Investigation
Cultural investigation for NZ businesses takes a structured, evidence-based approach to understanding what's really going on beneath the surface.
We conduct confidential interviews, review relevant documentation, and assess organisational practices to identify the root causes of cultural dysfunction. The result is a clear, independent report with practical recommendations your leadership team can act on.
