The private company Institute Financial Investigations works, barring a number of traditional employment contracts, on the basis of partnership contracts with its consultants and financial examiners. In this way, IFO has not only managed to acquire the services of acclaimed and specialized professionals, but it is also in a position to vouch for expertise and guarantee continuity. These partnership contracts govern matters such as secrecy, compliance, direction and overall-control of the assignments, quality control and professional liability. It is also thanks to this - modern and flexible - organizational form that IFO has the ability to attract highly-specialized professionals to its forensic and consultancy teams. The IFO management team coordinates, heads and, to a certain extent, also participates in the various assignments. The company’s shares are held by the partners of the IFO management team.
