Fraud - whether or not it’s detected - happens in the best of companies.

An incident of fraud can have a severe impact on the state of your business. Not only is there the potential for significant loss of money, you could lose your best customers, as well as your good reputation. You could also be pulled into major litigation —and even experience the collapse of your entire organization. This makes fraud mitigation a process that deserves the utmost attention.

How we can help
Our certified fraud examiners and investigators have extensive experience helping organizations develop proactive and reactive fraud capabilities. Our risk management services involve an integrated approach to help you prevent, detect and investigate fraud.

To prevent or detect fraud,we first focus on fraud prevention, including an assessment of your internal control environment. Our anti-fraud program ties together essential elements of risk management and effective internal audit within the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) internal control integrated framework.

Focusing resources on critical areas of your internal control structure, we help identify control gaps and deficiencies. Then we work with you to find cost-effective solutions to remediate the weaknesses.

On the reactive side, we offer fraud identification, investigation and insurance services, including computer-based forensic consulting. This process includes:

• Identifying internal or customer fraud during internal audit procedures
• Advising management during the evidence gathering and interrogation phase
• Performing an in-depth fraud investigation, including organizing and categorizing evidence
• Summarizing hard-dollar losses to the company
• Providing copies of fraud documentation in a format that allows filing of the insurance claim
• When a fraud investigation is performed, we provide a report that summarizes the fraud scheme and details the internal control gaps that allow fraud incidents to go undetected by management.
