As the Head of Compliance and Governance at iOCO Limited, I am pleased to provide this letter of recommendation for XTND, whose forensic investigation services have been integral to our organisation over the past seven years.

Throughout this period, the EOH Group — now operating as iOCO — has engaged XTND on more than 300 forensic investigations across a wide range of complex and sensitive matters, including fraud, corruption, money laundering, theft, forgery, and internal disciplinary breaches.

XTND's Certified Fraud Examiners have consistently demonstrated professionalism, discretion, and technical expertise. Their team collaborates closely with SAPS and the HAWKS, assisting with evidence gathering, responding to NPA requests, and attending court proceedings as required.

XTND also conducts layered voice analysis for iOCO, used in pre-employment screening and to support investigative processes. Their work has led to successful resolution of cases involving procurement fraud, financial statement manipulation, and VAT irregularities.

Beyond investigative work, XTND played a key role in developing the ExposeIT App — a secure, anonymous whistleblowing platform that empowers employees to report unethical behaviour without fear of retaliation.
