Investigative Standards and Code of Conduct
Corporate Global Solutions is a United States based investigative company. Our investigators are native to their geographical location and the majority are retired law enforcement officers. We have a long history with our investigators and have engaged them because of their honesty, integrity, and proven expertise in conducting investigations. We provide yearly training to our team leaders in each country, ensuring that they are not only well versed in the laws and policies of their own country, but kept abreast of international laws, regulations and client requirements. CGS investigators are kept up-to-date with changes in International Anti-Corruption Policies such as FCPA (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) and the UK Bribery Act. CGS cases are reviewed regularly to ensure that all investigators are in compliance with the laws of the country in which they are working.
In addition to following these standards, laws and policies, CGS investigators operate under a professional Code of Conduct as follows:
- To conduct themselves with honesty and integrity, upholding the highest moral principles and avoiding conduct detrimental to their profession.
- To conduct all investigations within the bounds of legality, morality and professional ethics.
- To guard their own professional reputation, integrity and that of their professional associates.
Client Specificity
CGS recognizes that individual client companies may have their own set of standards, procedures and regulations that must be met in order to conduct a successful investigation. Therefore, CGS employees are trained in relation to each specific client, outlining the standards and procedures specified by the client and/or set forth in contractual agreements. Furthermore, every investigation is treated as unique and is proposed to the client for approval and review before any action is taken.
Corporate Global Solutions’ investigators are bound by contract and non-disclosure agreement. CGS provides yearly training for team leads from each country, keeping them informed of any changes that have occurred in compliance policies and law and provide specialized training for specific clients and products. For those clients that require other contractual and/or legal documentation, CGS ensures that only investigators that have been reviewed and approved by the client are utilized for those investigations.
Our diligence in ensuring that stringent U.S. and foreign anti-corruption laws are respected and followed in challenging markets, like Latin America, has earned us long-term business relationships with some of the largest and most profitable multi-national corporations in the world. Our commitment to achieving meaningful results while ensuring compliance has established Corporate Global Solutions as a reliable source for global investigations.
