Corporate investigations Queensland conducted by an independent professional investigation team

Corporate & Commercial Investigations Queensland

Corporate investigations Queensland organisations rely on must be independent, evidence-based and capable of withstanding legal or regulatory scrutiny.

Regional Queensland Investigations conducts independent corporate and commercial investigations across Queensland for businesses, boards, legal advisers, insolvency practitioners and government-related entities.

Our corporate investigations are evidence-driven, procedurally sound and designed to withstand legal, regulatory and reputational scrutiny. We operate as an external, independent investigator where matters require objectivity, discretion and defensible findings.

Independent Corporate Investigators Across Queensland

RQI is engaged to investigate serious internal, commercial and governance issues that cannot be resolved through routine management processes.

We work with organisations operating across metropolitan, regional and remote Queensland, providing discreet investigative capability where independence and experience are critical.

Corporate investigations are often commissioned when the risk profile of a matter extends beyond internal HR, compliance or audit functions.

Who Engages Our Corporate Investigation Services

Our corporate and commercial investigations are conducted on instruction from:

  • Company boards and directors

  • In-house counsel and legal practitioners

  • Executives and senior management

  • Insolvency practitioners and accountants

  • Government agencies and local councils

  • Statutory authorities and regulators

RQI operates independently of internal decision-making to ensure objectivity, fairness and evidentiary integrity.

Types of Corporate & Commercial Matters Investigated

RQI is engaged to investigate matters including:

  • Allegations of internal misconduct or wrongdoing

  • Fraud, misappropriation or financial irregularities

  • Breaches of company policy or code of conduct

  • Conflicts of interest and governance concerns

  • Integrity or compliance failures

  • Misrepresentation or disputed conduct

  • Sensitive commercial disputes requiring fact-finding

Each investigation is scoped to the specific risk, legal context and organisational environment.

When an External Corporate Investigation Is Appropriate

External corporate investigations are commonly required where:

  • Allegations involve senior staff or executives

  • Internal investigations lack independence

  • There is potential legal, regulatory or reputational exposure

  • Matters may escalate to litigation or regulatory review

  • Boards require independent findings to inform decisions

RQI provides an independent evidentiary assessment, enabling informed and defensible outcomes.

Corporate Investigation Methodology

RQI corporate investigations follow a structured and defensible methodology:

1. Scoping and Terms of Reference

Each matter commences with clear scoping, objectives and terms of reference to ensure proportionality and relevance.

2. Evidence Collection

We review documents, electronic records and other material relevant to the investigation, with attention to continuity and integrity.

3. Interviews and Fact-Finding

Interviews are conducted professionally and fairly, with consideration given to procedural fairness and the role of each witness.

4. Analysis and Findings

Evidence is analysed objectively against the scope of the investigation and applicable policies or standards.

5. Reporting

Findings are documented in a clear, factual report suitable for boards, legal advisers or regulators.

Corporate investigations frequently intersect with workplace investigations, particularly where allegations involve misconduct, integrity or governance issues.
