Fraud Consulting Services empower you to enhance your Fraud Prevention and Deterrence environment - Minimizing Fraud losses and reducing costs associated with Fraudulent activities
We conduct a detailed assessment of your business operations, structure, and policies and procedures. A report is provided that recognizes strengths and exposes weaknesses in your internal security and fraud prevention/deterrence strategies.
Based on the assessment, an in-depth plan can be developed to minimize areas of fraud risk; reducing potential losses from fraud, as well as, lowering associated operational costs
Implementation of an effective fraud awareness program, along with Fraud Education and Training, allows your business to take full advantage of the efforts of the entire staff in establishing its anti-fraud activities and can substantially reduce the cost of fraud within the organization. Most importantly, training will be tailored to your specific organization, rather than on general anti-fraud messages.
"Employees are one of the best weapons in the fight against fraud, and an effective fraud-training program is one of the best ways to prepare employees in this fight. By equipping employees with the tools and knowledge to recognize and report fraud, management can ensure a stronger first line of defense against fraud." - WWW.ACFE.ORG
Due to the extraordinary duties and powers afforded to Managers and Executives, special training is available to address the added Fraud Prevention and Detection responsibilities, in addition to the Education provided to all employees.
Employees are the front-line defense against fraud. They are some of your best weapons in the prevention and deterrence of fraud. Equipping them with the tools and knowledge to fight fraud allows you to ensure your anti-fraud strategies are carried out effectively.
Fraud affects individual industries in different ways. While the retail industry is subject to a larger number of smaller fraud activities, financial fraud occurrences are fewer, yet much costlier on average. The simple fact is that everyone is susceptible to fraud. The effectiveness of your anti-fraud strategies will dictate the level of fraud risk and can help you to avoid becoming another statistic.
Oxford Dictionary defines Fraud as: "Wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. A person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities." Fraud is both a criminal and civil violation requiring diligent efforts to both assertain facts, as well as, to provide accurate gathering of information.
A fraud investigation is essential for victims of fraud. While it is convenient to quote statistics regarding the billions of dollars lost to fraud annually, it is more important to understand that if it happens to YOU, nothing is more important than determining the “Who? What? And How?” it has happened, and ensuring a complete and thorough investigation is done in an attempt to make certain YOU have been adequately represented in the investigation.
We also provide Business related Investigations related to: Background Checks, Business Compliance Reviews, Corporate Due Diligence, and Other requested areas of research.
