The difference between fraud and mismanagement is the intention to deceit. Proving this intention can often prove difficult and subjective. Before you take legal action or dismiss an employee for suspicion of fraud, let us prepare the bullet you need to pull the trigger. Our highly trained team will unweave complex schemes and reveal the true nature and intention of fraudsters. Our investigations feature the following:
- Customized reports Our reports are highly customized to suit your needs and objectives;
- Factual findings We only report on matters which can be proven by documentation and state clearly where these may be lacking. Our report properly documents how we reach our conclusions so that it is admissible in court;
- Digital forensics In this day and age, everything we do leaves a digital footprint behind. We provide digital forensic services through our business partners to ensure that any evidence that can further support the case is uncovered; and
- Timely reporting We report to your management team and legal advisors on our findings on a periodical matter so that expectations can be managed and the directions aligned to the satisfaction of the clients.
Example of investigation procedures we specialise in includes the following:
- Asset tracing An investigation without hopes of recovering funds is an exercise in futility. We go through financial records to identify individuals who are believed to have the information about the about the location and ownership of assets. Often fraudsters hide assets through complex financial structure, leading to a time-consuming process. Regardless, we apply the highest level of dilligence in tracing these assets so that legal action can be taken to freeze, seize and ultimately recover the funds and/ or assets.;
- Procurement fraud and bid rigging Being charged with custody of your Company's resources, the procurement department is one of the highest risk areas for a Business in terms of leakages. Unscrupulous individuals may submit fictitious quotation/ invoices, collude with vendors, pocket kickbacks or bribes and manipulate the procurement process through various means. Often times procurement fraud involves circumvention of tender bid processes, either involving collusion with procurement personnel and/ or among tenderers leading to damage to reputation and further loss of resources.;
- Digital forensics Most investigation leads to litigation and ultimately digital data becomes evidence. Through maintaining chain of command and ensuring ata integrity, we maximise the successful prospect in delivering to the litigation team effective and efficient evidence that helps you get a favourable verdict.
- Claims abuse Inflated claims, unsupported claims, multiple duplicate claims, these are just some of the common approach which unethical employees manipulate their entitlement to maximise their personal benefit. Our verification helps you send the message that such behaviours will not be tolerated.
- Interogative interviews The proper investigation techniques elicit the right response and maximises the retrieval of information. With proper training and expertise, we carry out effective interviews which follow a standardized protocol in a controlled environment to effectively and efficiently gather information for your investigation.
