Corporate fraud investigation

Description

Fraud is not easily detectable, difficult to investigate, and very hard to prove. Fraudsters are often intelligent people possessing excellent knowledge in the field and of the environment, who have access to sensitive information and years of experience in managerial positions. That is one of the reasons why fraud detection can take such a long time, often months if not years.

Our procedures

If you suspect any fraudulent behavior in your company, the best solution is to utilize our knowledge and experience. We begin cooperating closely with our clients as early as in the initial phase of collecting required information and evaluating existing suspicions. Together we choose the most appropriate tools and review procedures, and assemble an expert investigation team.

An investigation usually involves an analysis of the company’s internal policies, processes and procedures, and of applicable legislation. It also includes a review of documentation and electronic accounting and financial records. During an audit, we collect and evaluate both public and non-public information on selected entities and interview employees or third parties related to the company under examination.

Once we have assessed the collected evidence and findings, we present our recommendations for eliminating any identified weaknesses in the control system and deliver our results in a written forensic report.

Client benefits

Thanks to our partners – experienced specialists – and our access to a large number of information sources, we are able to carry on where others have had to stop.

We excel at finding hidden information scattered in a number of sources and providing our clients with an overall picture of what is and was happening within their companies.

Utilizing our investigative, auditing and accounting expertise, we conduct forensic reviews and/or fraud investigations and examine financial and business documents, business intelligence, accounting records and relationships within a company. Common areas of examination include:

  • Transactions, projects and activities of employees in particular positions and departments, e.g. purchasing, sales, marketing or finance
  • Checking out selected employees for possible corrupt behavior
  • Checking out employees and third parties for possible conflict of interest
  • Bidding processes
  • Irregular financial and business transactions
  • Employee expenses
  • Inventory administration and management
