We've seen fraud increase significantly in the business environment. Too often, business leaders believe that fraud could never happen to them: they trust their employees implicitly and often neglect to set up simple controls that could greatly reduce opportunities for dishonest individuals.
Fraud is emotionally and financially devastating to an organization. We have a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) on our team, along with several individuals who specialize in developing strong internal control systems. CFEs are trained to see the warning signs and red flags that indicate not just actual fraud but fraud risk = potentially saving organizations thousands of dollars through prevention and detection before it's too late.
  
We can help you reduce the risks in a variety of ways:

• We can perform a "fraud check-up" to review your existing controls and highlight areas where you could be vulnerable.
  
• We can help you develop or improve your system of internal controls, segregation of duties and oversight procedures to reduce the organization's risk of fraud.
  
• We can conduct an inquiry if you suspect fraud is occurring. This could include review of financial records, reconciliations of reported amounts, tests of balances, observation of transactions and interviews with employees, customers, or suppliers.
  

If you have been a victim of fraud, we can help you recover funds and prosecute those responsible:
We can assist law enforcement and prosecutors by providing analysis and transaction review to establish patterns of deceit and evidence of manipulating financial records.
We can help you file a claim with your insurance carrier by completing worksheets and other analyses needed to support the claim.
