Some situations require more than internal process. They require people who have spent careers uncovering the truth. Arx Risk investigations are founded by former Police specialists and held to the same evidential, ethical, and procedural standards as serious criminal enquiries.
Arx Risk investigations capability was established by former Police specialists with direct experience of serious, complex, and sensitive criminal enquiries at the highest level. Every investigator on our team holds PIP2 qualification as a minimum standard.
We are not a generalist investigations firm that has added compliance to its portfolio. We are investigators first. We apply the same standards, evidential, ethical, and procedural, to every private and corporate matter we accept as we would to a serious criminal enquiry. Because the consequences of getting it wrong are the same.
Our reach extends across London, the UK, and internationally. We have the capability to conduct seamless cross-border investigations where required, drawing on an established network of trusted specialist partners.
Every investigation is conducted to the evidential standard required for legal proceedings. Nothing we produce will be challenged on process.
We operate within a strict ethical framework. Our methods are lawful, proportionate, and defensible at every stage.
We understand that the existence of an investigation is often as sensitive as its findings. Complete confidentiality is maintained throughout.
We report in plain language to decision makers. Findings are structured, unambiguous, and accompanied by a clear recommended course of action.
London, UK-wide, and cross-border capability through an established network of trusted specialist partners.
We conduct comprehensive corporate investigations into the full range of integrity and misconduct matters. Our approach is methodical and proportionate. We work to minimise disruption, protect your organisation's reputation, and ensure that everything we produce meets the evidential standards required, whether for internal action, regulatory proceedings, or court.
Investigation of suspected fraud, false accounting, procurement irregularities, expenses abuse, and financial crime. We trace funds, identify perpetrators, and build evidence packages suitable for criminal and civil proceedings.
Investigation of data theft, intellectual property misappropriation, unauthorised system access, and malicious insider activity. We establish what happened, who was responsible, and what the full extent of the loss is.
Sensitive investigation of misconduct, harassment, bullying, and discrimination allegations. Conducted with absolute discretion and in full compliance with employment law, regulatory requirements, and duty of care obligations.
Investigation of physical theft, stock loss, unexplained asset disappearance, and supply chain irregularities. We identify the method, the individuals involved, and the full scale of loss.
Deep background investigation of individuals, counterparties, and organisations prior to significant transactions, appointments, or partnerships. We find what surface-level checks do not.
Where organisations have an existing internal investigation function, we work alongside and strengthen it, providing specialist expertise, independent oversight, and additional capacity on complex matters.
Every investigation follows a structured methodology designed to protect the integrity of evidence, comply with relevant legal frameworks, and deliver findings that hold up to scrutiny at every level.
Confidential Consultation. We listen before we advise and scope the investigation around your specific situation.
Investigative Planning. A structured plan is agreed before any action is taken, covering scope, method, timeline, and legal parameters.
Evidence Gathering. Methodical collection and preservation of evidence to the standard required for legal proceedings.
Analysis and Findings. Clear, structured reporting of findings with recommended courses of action and options for next steps.
The interview is the most critical point in any investigation. Conducted well, it secures evidence, establishes truth, and withstands legal challenge. Conducted poorly, it can collapse a case, expose your organisation to liability, or allow a perpetrator to walk away.
Drawing on extensive Police interview expertise, we provide specialist consultancy and training for corporate investigation teams, HR departments, legal professionals, and in house investigators. The result is teams that interview with confidence, consistency, and legal integrity.
We help investigation teams plan interviews strategically, identifying objectives, managing legal risk, and ensuring the right approach is taken before a subject enters the room.
Specialist training in witness interview technique, including cognitive interview methods, achieving best evidence, and handling vulnerable or reluctant witnesses.
Training in interviewing individuals under caution or in disciplinary proceedings, covering legal frameworks, challenging accounts, and maintaining procedural integrity.
Tailored training programmes for HR departments, legal teams, and internal investigation functions. Delivered on site or remotely, and calibrated to your sector and regulatory environment.
Direct consultancy support on specific interviews or investigations as they unfold. We advise on strategy, review material, and provide expert guidance in real time.
Our post incident K&R investigation service applies the same PIP2 standards and PEACE methodology to the most serious personal safety incidents. Prosecution support, structured debrief, and intelligence exploitation.
Every investigator on our team comes from a serious and complex criminal investigation background. PIP2 is our baseline, not our ceiling. We do not apply a corporate veneer to generic process. We apply law enforcement rigour to corporate and private matters.
Every engagement begins with a confidential consultation. We listen before we advise, and we advise only when we have something substantive to offer. We remain in your corner from initial instruction through to resolution.

Across law enforcement, intelligence, and private sector investigation at the most senior and complex levels.
