The All-Ukrainian Association of Polygraph Examiners (hereinafter referred to as the UAPE) conducts polygraph tests / lie detector tests in all existing areas, in all cities of Ukraine, as well as in Europe and beyond.
When conducting polygraph tests, the AUAPE polygraph examiners are maximally focused on solving customer problems while respecting the rights of the subjects.
We work honestly, professionally, in accordance with the requirements of the chosen methodology. There are no identical people, misdeeds and crimes! That is why we write tests for the needs of a specific customer, and are not limited to templates.

Polygraph tests / lie detector tests of employees before dismissal may include the following topics:
1. Real reasons for dismissal. The stated reason for dismissal may mask the real one, the one that indicates the presence of problems in the team, the existence of “left” schemes, the transition of the top manager to the rank of competitors in relation to former managers.
The reason for the dismissal of an honest, professional employee may be mobbing by colleagues who focus their activity not on work, but on the persecution and harassment of those who work conscientiously. As a result, the owner loses worthy employees and is left with idlers.
Sometimes employees are dismissed because they know about the existence of “left” schemes, but do not want to either report them to management (so as not to become a “whistleblower”) or be in the team when this scheme is exposed.
The real reason for the dismissal of a top manager may be the completion of work on creating his own business, similar to the employer’s business, where he lures qualified employees and prospective clients.
2. Committing misdemeanors during his work in the company, which resulted in material losses, leaking official information.
Identifying “holes” in the security system will prevent similar actions by other employees.
3. Fear of being exposed for committing theft, transferring important information to the outside, committing other negative actions, the consequences of which will be revealed later, when the person involved is no longer on the company’s staff.
4. Concealing information about abuses by other employees from management: bringing to work, selling and using prohibited substances; setting up “left” earning schemes; stealing client assets; leaking, selling official information.
5. Negative “preparation” for dismissal by: early unauthorized copying of information outside the official infrastructure; maintaining the ability to penetrate the system while outside the company’s staff; possession of access passwords belonging to other employees; theft of numbered official forms; infection of the computer network with a virus.
Polygraph tests / lie detector tests for the purpose of official investigations are often conducted for the purpose of:
1. Checks for involvement in: theft of money, cryptocurrency, material and technical assets, documents; lobbying of a tenderer; providing informational assistance to the company’s enemies, raiders; leaking information; dissemination of discrediting information; arson of company facilities; installation of spy equipment in the office, etc.
2. Checks of an applicant-employee who reported: theft of material assets entrusted to him; attack and forcible seizure of funds, material and technical assets of the company; coercion against him into civil legal relations, which resulted in losses for the employer.
3. Checks for the fact of concealment of information, provision of false testimony regarding the circumstances of the theft, as well as the persons involved in it.

The AUAPE consistently fights against manifestations of unfair competition, customer deception and lowering the price of polygraph tests due to poor quality and low reliability of the result (link).
That is why we recommend that you BEFORE ordering, BEFORE signing a contract with the polygraph examiner you have chosen, find out the following (according to the list):
1) How long does a polygraph test last, will the polygraph examiner indicate its duration in the conclusion based on the results of the test?
2) What is the minimum duration of recording the reaction after the question is asked does the polygraph examiner set in the software?
Know that it must be at least 15 seconds: a shorter recording duration is not provided for by any existing methodology.
Reducing the duration of recording the reaction is unacceptable because it may result in an incorrect conclusion.
3) Will the polygraph examiner indicate in the conclusion the specific tests of which methodology he used during the study? Is this methodology official, scientifically sound, are there any relevant published works behind it?
4) Will the polygraph examiner be ready to provide, if necessary, a video of the study, the content and duration of which will correspond to what he will indicate in the certificate?
Please note that exceptions are cases when the person in respect of whom the polygraph test / lie detector test was conducted refused to have the research procedure videotaped, as indicated in the consent form.
5) Will the polygraph examiner be ready to provide, if necessary, the polygraphs and tests used during the study?
ATTENTION! We strongly DO NOT RECOMMEND signing a contract that stipulates that the polygraph examiner will not save/quickly destroy the research materials: videos, polygraphs, and tests. If you are concerned about the safety of the results, the solution is not to have them destroy the results, but to have them hand over to you along with the conclusion of all the materials.
