Notable investigations
During a 2013 public corruption case, the Moreland Commission hired K2 Integrity "to search databases for donations linked to the passage of legislation or the awarding of state contracts."

In 2014, K2 Integrity provided data analytics litigation support to recover the stolen funds to be distributed back to the victims of the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme (Madoff investment scandal).

In 2018, a forensic investigation was completed on behalf of the International Boxing Association (AIBA) that documented gross negligence and financial mismanagement of AIBA affairs and finances.

K2 Integrity investigated a scam case known as the Con Queen of Hollywood. The multi-year investigation led to the arrest of the suspect in Manchester, England, on 26 November 2020.
