Drawing on skills and experience acquired over many years in a range of
disciplines, our investigations team is ready to assist clients in the
prevention, detection, investigation and remediation of fraud, financial crime
and other irregularities.
Our detection and investigations specialists work with our experts in
forensic technology solutions, combining extensive practical experience, formal
training and a wide range of tools and techniques to detect and investigate
fraud.
The decision to recover any assets misappropriated will be informed by a
wide range of issues, including the size of the losses, whether the target of
any recovery action has sufficient assets to warrant a claim, as well as the
location of those assets and whether there's a desire to avoid publicity. We
can assist clients in this decision making process and in pursuing any
resulting recovery actions.
We can also help evaluate, remediate or augment your anti-fraud programmes
by providing an overall fraud risk assessment and by designing and/or testing
existing anti-fraud programmes and controls.
