Protecting your Assets, Preserving your Reputation
Fraud happens faster than you think. It can happen to any company. Sometimes it involves external scammers pretending to be the CEO. Sometimes it’s your own employees diverting money flows to their own bank accounts. Often it starts small, such as taking some office supplies, and then gets out of hand. Making private purchases at the expense of the company, falsifying documents, accepting gifts or even bribes from suppliers: the possibilities for fraud and corruption are endless, and the temptation is great. But how do you deal with it?
What should you do when fraud comes to light? The first step is to uncover the truth: from motive to method. Then you can build a watertight legal case to use against the fraudster in court. Finally, you draw conclusions from what has happened and ensure better security for the future.
Let our experts conduct an objective investigation. With hard facts, you increase the likelihood that the guilty party will be punished. Our report tells you exactly what happened and how. Not only can you have the fraudster punished, but your company will also emerge stronger from this crisis. Professional handling restores confidence in your organization and discourages other potential fraudsters. You show that your security is not to be trifled with.
There is always something to learn from a case of fraud. It is a symptom pointing to an underlying problem: poorly aligned business processes, a flaw in security, or too much trust concentrated in one person. With our recommendations, you can tighten your security and eliminate weaknesses in business processes. This way, you avoid a recurrence and can rest easy.
We work according to a fixed, proven methodology.
Our cyber experts investigate what has happened on a computer or server. This trace investigation tells you exactly what was done, when, and by whom.
We use open-source research to search for all available information about the parties you suspect of fraud. In some cases, we engage sworn private detectives to make specific findings in compliance with applicable laws.
We have conversations with managers, suspects, and witnesses, and check whether their statements match the information we have obtained.
Once we have mapped out what has happened, we compile it into an objective expert report. Based on this, you can make informed decisions about further steps.
If you wish, we can help you improve your systems afterward to prevent similar situations in the future.
