About us

Our vision

We aim to be the leading provider of independent investigation services for the insurance industry in the Nordic region, and a trusted partner for organizations in need of specialized investigative support.

Our team is carefully selected to offer unique expertise in both technical and tactical investigations. Objectivity and professionalism are the hallmarks of our work - reflected in our thorough and well-crafted reports.

Our strengths

FaVer’s strength lies in the complementary skills of our team, built through hands-on experience in investigations, forensic analysis, and case assessments.

Our lean organizational structure allows us to deliver high-quality services efficiently and at competitive prices, without unnecessary overhead.

With a global network of trusted partners, we are well-positioned to assist in cross-border investigations and international fact verification.

Our services

FaVer AS supports companies with tactical and technical investigations, as well as specialized case reviews – always with a focus on quality, precision, and integrity.

Our team brings extensive experience from police investigations across various fields, with several members specializing in conversation and interview techniques.

Through our expertise, we help clarify complex cases by gathering detailed statements, connecting them with other available information and technical findings, conducting reconstructions, and consulting expert witnesses or relevant public authorities.

Where needed, we also provide recommendations for how the case may be taken forward.

Special Investigation Services

Some insurance cases require deeper investigation to clarify suspicions of fraud or to understand complex circumstances where coverage and liability are unclear.

FaVer AS brings together professionals with extensive experience from both police investigations and insurance casework. Many of our team members have worked as special investigators within leading insurance companies, giving us a strong understanding of the investigative needs insurers may face.

Our ambition:

To strengthen our position as a leading provider of special investigation services for the insurance industry in Norway and across the Nordic region.

What we deliver:

  • Advanced expertise in both tactical and technical investigations – across all types of cases.
  • Clear, objective, and independent reports that provide a solid basis for decision-making.
  • Participation in national and international forums, with a strong global network to assist in cross-border cases.

Our approach:

  • Detailed interviews conducted by experts in conversation and interview techniques.

FaVer is committed to delivering investigations marked by precision, objectivity, and well-crafted reports.

Internal Investigation Services

FaVer AS supports private and public organizations in uncovering and investigating economic irregularities, breaches of internal policies, violations of applicable laws, and other concerning behaviors.

Incidents such as financial misconduct, misappropriation, and fraud can cause significant reputational damage in addition to financial loss. It is essential to investigate these matters thoroughly—to stop harmful actions, recover lost assets where possible, and identify weaknesses in internal controls to prevent future occurrences.

Our method:

  • Extensive expertise in conducting internal investigations across both private and public sectors.
  • Strong competence in interview techniques.
  • A lean organizational structure that enables efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
  • Collaboration with auditors, legal experts, and other relevant professionals.
  • International network enabling support in cross-border cases.

FaVer AS is committed to delivering investigations that are thorough, objective, and clearly documented—helping clients make informed decisions based on a solid foundation.

For sales personnel:

  • How to assess customer suitability and risk at the point of contract formation.
