How does The Conley Group keep track of costs and time spent conducting an investigation?
We track our activities in the same manner as other professionals such as lawyers and accountants. We closely track time as well as all incurred expenses including travel, investigative and administrative costs, and the actual expenses of commercial database searches. It is the policy and practice of The Conley Group, Inc. to list all expenses in detail on our invoices and to bill expenses at the actual cost. Investigative & Administration costs include the hours performed for a particular activity (hours x rate per hour). All activities performed are itemized by date, hours, and mileage. Expenses may include the following items: Transportation (miles x per mile rate), Out of Town Expenses, Photography, Records Search (Court, MVR, Claims, Background Report), Clerical, Long Distance/Fax, Postage, Fees Paid Out, and Miscellaneous Copies.
