Uphando Forensic Services provide an independent, proactive and responsive service together with credible forensic results. Our team is innovative, flexible and quality conscious. We place great emphasis on value-added benefits for our clients.

Given the highly specialised nature of forensic investigations and the rigorous testing of all findings it has been our policy to recruit members who are recognised for their specific skills in this diverse field. Wherever a fraud affects our clients, expert help is at hand. Each engagement is unique, which requires flexibility in the approach taken and the ability to apply previous experience to new situations.

We have demonstrated to be consistent in delivering quality work with a lateral approach to investigative problems.

Our team consists of committed and diligent investigators with good technical abilities. Our main focus is to provide forensic services to Small and Medium Business Enterprises, Government, Local Government and Corporate entities.

Uphando HR Services provide a Human Resource Management Outsourcing function for small enterprises that cannot afford the skills of a permanent HR Manager, but have a need for the function.

Our team has the skill to ensure that your biggest asset, being human capital, is treated fairly and kept motivated to increase productivity to the benefit of your organization while you focus on your core line of business.

Our Human Resource Management Services provide assistance to ensure compliance with all legislation.      Our Payroll Outsourcing Services ensure that payroll runs smoothly, meet all deadlines and is compliant with relevant legislation. Should any amendments occur, we will ensure that your company remains compliant.

Uphando is a member of the Cape Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Our goal is to establish long-term relationships with clients who demand the highest levels of service and who are quality conscious in their respective businesses. Our ultimate test would be to provide credible results with a high level of quality in the professional services business. We have proved ourselves to be thorough, effective and resilient with a high level of sensitivity to aspects of confidentiality and risk.

Uphando is recognised as the forensic service provider whose results are integrity based.

Our team have developed skills and gained experience in a wide range of industries and sectors. A few of these sectors include:

The final Codes of Good Practice on Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) were gazetted on 9 February 2007 in Government Gazette No. 29617, whereby businesses with a turnover of less than R5 million per annum are exempted from BEE. There is thus no restriction on race, gender or number of employees to qualify as a level 4 superior contributor to BEE.

Therefore, Uphando is compliant as a level 4 superior contributor to BEE and a certificate is available on request to ensure that your company scores in terms of procurement. However, we believe that the diversity of our staff members enrich our performance and service, the community we live and work in, as well as the lives of our colleagues.

As our industry evolves and the global market place changes, our effort to understand value in order to incorporate and respect these differences, has become increasingly important. Accordingly, we have established a multi-component initiative to promote and integrate diversity at every level within our organization. We are committed to correcting the legacy of discrimination in relation to race, gender and disability that has denied access to opportunities for education, employment, promotion and wealth creation to the majority of South Africans.

As a growing organization we have a policy of promoting from within, by identifying those staff members from the previously disadvantaged groups who have the potential and then providing them with the relevant training.

Having a workforce that reflects the demographics of the country will improve our market share; provide us with a better understanding of markets and thus the ability to service all current and prospective clients.

As a small business we believe in promoting a professional and proficient service with credible results. To enable us to achieve service delivery, we have incorporated an adequate and reliable infrastructure.

The office is manned during office hours to ensure that all investigative instructions, general enquiries or account queries could be attended to immediately. A dedicated fax line and file server supported through our in-house computer network ensures effective communication.

All staff have individual email addresses through the Uphando domain, supported by ADSL line connection. We believe that client confidentiality is of utmost importance and therefore all client information is stored onsite.

Our head office is situated in Bellville, Cape Town. Our operational area includes the greater Cape Peninsula as well as the whole Western Province region.

Our Gauteng office is situated in Bryanston. Our operational area includes the greater Johannesburg and Pretoria region.

Although we do not have offices in the other regions, we have no objection to assist with assignments outside of the boundaries of the Western Cape and Gauteng.
