Financial, commercial and reputational loss is a constant risk for both public and private sector organisations. Past examples of financial scandals have revealed how economic incentives or increased pressure can lead to bad behaviour in reporting. As a result of the challenges faced in the current climate, the perception of fraud risk is now viewed as very high, which requires organisations to be more on guard than ever before.
We help our clients take the right steps to prevent, detect and respond to potentially contentious or harmful situations. Equally important to us is the ability to take a strategic approach, helping to advise our clients on claims, recoveries and other action that can be taken based on what we have found.
Whether it is a fraud, business dispute, contract compliance issue, regulatory enquiry or large-scale transaction, major problems can quickly arise, spiral out of control and cause severe damage. We bring together the best forensic skills in the market as part of our team of accountants, investigators, economists, technology specialists, ex-law enforcement professionals and regulators. As you would expect, we think and act 'forensically' to tackle crisis and reputation challenges. This means:
- Immersing ourselves in the detail, sometimes using technology to analyse millions of pages of data
- Using full audit trails, as most of our work ends up in court or another legal forum
- Using deep investigative skills to get to the heart of the issue showing determination and sensitivity to our clients
