Kroll seems to have no problem advertising themselves as the leading company for a myriad of mega responsibilities - global risk management, litigation support, corporate investigations,due diligence , asset recovery-- global and national.

www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Kroll,_Inc
Plenty of wikipeadia info too.
If one has reason to dig deeper, they’ll soon see that Kroll claims to be leaders in credit ratings, bond ratings, litigation support, internet security products, employment readiness, forensic accounting, advisory solutions, threat management, government security clearance, global cyber security and corporate intelligence, background checks. They also supply ammo and other toys to law enforcement under thier Kroll O'Gara guise. And, those claims-- of being trusted, rarely- if ever- have been held up to scrutiny. When scrutiny shows up, it soon disseapears and a few name changes take care of any lingering bad P.R.
Jack of all Trades or masters of way too much?
If that doesn’t sound like too many responsibilities, they have even expanded into forensics. They have forensic accounting services, and forensic lab services for drug and urine testing. Such results that might emerge from their Virginia and Louisiana drug testing labs have been relied upon by law enforcement, for years now.
Men and woman have been vindicated or imprisoned based on their lab results. They have a fat contract with California. dpa.ca.gov/personnel-policies/drug-testing/pdf/dpa-177.pdf www.calhr.ca.gov/Documents/drug-testing-kroll-pricing-sheet.pd
They have expanded such services all over America, and I wouldn't be one bit surprised if this Kroll lab business has spread throughout the world.
Recently, a man named Eric Landon sued them for negligence . www.usatoday.com/.../10/17/stateline-drug-test-labs/2999705
He was a few short weeks from his five year long probation(for forgery) being up, and right before it was up they came, and took a random sample, and he tested positive. He has been so wary that he’d already gotten a result from another lab, and it was negative, but the court would not give that lab any credence for a long time to come. He was arraigned the day before his probation was set to expire.
From what I’ve gathered it is no longer in dispute that he should have tested negative. He is now representing himself in a suit in a NY court. He is suing the Louisiana Kroll lab. You can read more here: http://law.justia.com/cases/new-york/court-of-appeals/2013/142.html
Forensic negligence issues that destroy live aside, Kroll has been called up on to investigate big business and big government for over four decades now. It takes only a cursory google search to reveal that American Governments, International goverments, or big big business uses them often to investigate controversies. Their reports are legendary for those in the know.
Their branching out into forensic testing strikes me as unbearably ominous, but that could be bias talking since I recently digested that Jules Kroll’s son, Nick Kroll ,was the instigator of a five year odyssey of injustice, in my case.
And, yet so many have never heard of the Krolls.
I didn’t until two months ago, or at least I had no idea that the name “Kroll” in so many reports and mystifying statements, in my case, meant the world.
Here is a nice concise way for you to see what happened to me and my family. But, here there really was some sort of love triangle In my case they had to invent one-- to make it give any sense to the senselessnes. Otherwise, the story is step for step what happened to us.http://wikispooks.com/wiki/Ian_Puddick
(Nick Kroll was the name Tig Notaro chose as a key witness to events that never occurred, and one that she made her business for judges to see. All that happened hinged in his desire to impress her and get a show at Largo, and an easy entree into the "comedy world." His name was the one who got her a fancy police unit to protect her interests -which were also Nick's interests. He recently told a Washington Post writer that Tig Notaro was his "oldest and best comedy friend" and he would do anything for her. Then, when I chose to never plea when innocent, Nick Kroll, submitted the most vicious and false witness statement to the prosecution. Though we never saw him, and It is highly doubful that he was even there. For years we just assumed he was some wannabe comedian looking for easy gigs. Now, I've learned that the reason why a Scott Boxenbaum and a Harris Wittels were all over comedy message boards, urging anyone who would listen that I was a stalker who stalked "tons of female comedians all over the country," and had to be "shunned and banned" on sight was due to direct orders from Nick Kroll. Now I know why the public defender, Anan Desai, said to me on the first day, " What is going on in the comedy world. This case is a joke.")
Perhaps, the lack of name recognition in the 99% is due to the humbleness that this Huffington Post writer saw in heir to the throne, and well-reviewed actor,and comedian- Nick Kroll. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kyle-dowling/nick-kroll_b_2680491.html
You can read more here http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/nick-kroll and all over gawker, jezebel, the New York times.
Kroll employs big time journalists too. Google Kroll Journalists to get a sample. So many investigative journalists now call Kroll- home. There are Pulitzer prize winning journalists who openly declare their new jobs with Kroll.
Here’s one that wouldn’t bite. I urge you to give it a read. It doesn't cover the half of it , but it does express what has become of so much of our press: http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2010/08/a-spy-in-the-jungle/60770/
This 1998 article in Business week http://www.businessweek.com/stories/1998-11-08/jules-kroll-danger-is-his-business gives the novice Kroll researcher a nice sense of how vast is their influence
In the late 1970s, he helped create a new market for corporate investigations. A onetime Manhattan assistant district attorney, he realized that corporations would pay big for an investigative firm that could dig out employee fraud and other malfeasance.He recruited a savvy coterie of former CIA spies, FBI agents, and prosecutors by paying them as much as twice their public-sector salaries
Kroll has been the last word on matters as various and sundry as the JFK assassination .
.http://www.thefullwiki.org/James_Files
(In short, when NBC and Dick Clark were gung ho about a second assassin story, Kroll’s report made that seem uncredible and that was scrapped.)
Whatever the case the man, Gerald Posner, who is credited with writing the definitive book on the assassination, “Case Closed.” Appears to like Nick Kroll’s comic stylings

This is the "Too Much Tuna" prank sketch from Kroll Show last night on COMEDY CENTRAL, with me, Nick Kroll, ... John John Hall and Gerald Posner like this.

9- 10- Interview whistleblower Richard Chang. Source: http://wikispooks.com/wiki/Richard_Chang
(Note: Allegations made by Chang’s family that Chang was not depressed and was a family man and it made to them no sense that during or right after the Kroll operatives left, he’d jump to his death. Chang was not involved with the corruption but rather had reported it.)
1111-In 2008, Be the investigators when a breach occurred, and it was learned that Passport information for Presidential Nominee, Barack Obama, had occurred(and on a lesser scale- Passport info for Mcain and Hillary Clinton . source: http://www.wnd.com/2013/01/did-cia-pick-sanitize-obamas-passport-records/,

Former Threat Management Head, Gregory Boles, has a senior position with Kroll now.

1213-Hire ex FBI agent, John Oneill to oversee security at the Building 7 of the World Trade center. He was hired by Kroll the day before or just took the job the day before.

1717- Hired by Chevron for their “litigation support” services.
