I have extensive and varied experience in fraud management and am able to assist your organisation in many ways, including: -

Investigating Fraud

Performing fraud investigations can be immensely disruptive and/or result in friction within an organisation. It can taint managers who must remain independent, for a variety of reasons, including involving themselves later in any disciplinary and appeals process.  To undertake  analytical investigation effectively requires experience, sensitivity, confidentialityand knowledge of the modus operandi typically adopted by fraudsters. It also requires an understanding  of the employment, criminal and civil law options which lawyers will contemplate for remedial and recovery purposes.

Determining the fraud control implications

An analysis of the control implications and proposal of recommendations for prompt implementation requires a thorough knowledge of both the controls that were missing or circumvented and a desirable risk management balance.  It is important neither to under or over-react; so business can run smoothly in future but with the right controls and effective monitoring that cannot be easily subverted.

Assisting fraud risk management and providing assurance

A structured review of existing fraud prevention, detection and remediation/recovery controls is vital.  So is tailoring a proposed fraud risk management structure to the organisation and making recommendations for immediate implementation.  FSA financial crime expectations have never been higher.
