ABSTRACT

Corporate investigators are constantly aware of legal influences and complexities that arise during each investigation. It is essential that corporate investigators and the entire management group band together to fight theft, asset misappropriation, and fraud in their environment. David J. Duffy, security professional for a major corporation and current loss prevention director, has shared many of his philosophies, advice, career goals, and friendship with many security professionals throughout his career. He explained a few factors that he considers in selecting a corporate investigator, security manager, technical support, or someone to work on his team. Corporate investigators have turned to social media network sites to conduct on-going investigations or to merely search for preliminary information. In the twenty-first century, white-collar crimes continue to be headline news for media outlets such as the Watergate Scandal with President Richard Nixon and the Enron investigation.
