Investigation of Fraud
Our goal is to prevent and detect fraud and be prepared to investigate and combat it when it occurs, minimizing damage and reputational impact.
Business fraud is increasing. The economic environment, the pressure for results, the enrichment or the opportunities presented by weaknesses in the control environment affect their origin.
To guarantee this fight is effective, it is necessary to have the advice of trusted professionals in crisis management through a wide range of services, among which we may emphasise the following:
- Advice on the management and prevention of the risk of fraud: for this we prepare assessments or diagnosis of the risk and the degree of exposure to fraud, we define and/or verify the existing anti-fraud controls in your company and business processes, as well as the organisational culture. To this end, we apply the best practices in order to identify limitations or areas for improvement.
In this same sense, we develop and implement fraud prevention policies and protocols. - Fraud detection: once the business has been understood and following the Risk Assessment, we define and implement alerts against fraud or irregularities through the application of advanced techniques of “data mining”, definition of models, “scoring” systems and compliance tests in transactions, areas and processes. In this way, we help our clients to meet specific anti-fraud and anti-corruption regulatory compliance regulations, among which it is worth noting the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act (FCPA), Money Laundering, the UK Bribery Bill, etc.
- Investigation of fraud: we investigate, quantify and substantiate fraud (accounting manipulation, misappropriation of assets, corruption/bribery, etc.), quantifying the economic damage caused and preparing and issuing an expert’s report that may be eventually used in a judicial procedure (labour and/or criminal).
Corporate intelligence
Improving knowledge is the best way to reduce risk.
We help our clients to develop the necessary strategies to reduce business risk and protect the infrastructure, investments, operations and reputation of their company both at a national and international level.
Our “corporate intelligence” procedures aim at assessing the integrity, links and solvency of an individual or a company through the collection and analysis of public and private access information in the more than 100 countries of our international network.
In this sense we can help you:
- Obtain extensive knowledge about integrity, reputation, activities and experience, financial solvency, financial and corporate links, conflicts of interest, etc. of a natural or legal person (clients, suppliers, managers, potential partners, etc.) .
- Draw up an analysis of assets through the traceability and identification of possible goods and funds of the individuals or legal entities being analysed.
