Protecting business from fraud, misconduct and non-compliance

Overview

Challenges that business faces in today’s environment

Running a successful business in today’s environment requires balancing between regulatory compliance, challenges that come with growth and corresponding controls that need to be instituted. The environment brings increased incidents of commercial litigation and disputes between business partners, increased opportunities for fraud and other irregular/illegal activities.

The above situations can have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the business, reduce employee morale, impair relationships with customers and business partners, and may also threaten the existence of the organisation. As issues related to bribery and corruption become part of boardroom agenda, the organisation needs effective compliance frameworks that fulfill the requirements of various anti-bribery and corruption laws. Furthermore, expert and independent fact finding support and advice are required to effectively and efficiently deal with these issues.

In focus

Protect

Our preventive services can ensure that you cover all areas entailing potential fraud risk, including process-driven risks, people-driven risks as well as risks due to technology usage.

Anti-Bribery and Corruption Compliance

We can review existing policies for anti-bribery and corruption compliance, set up procedures for continuous monitoring and conduct due diligence under anti-bribery and corruption laws, including US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the UK Bribery Act (UKBA).

Anti-Money Laundering Services

We help to review and set up a robust anti-money laundering (AML) framework, enable continuous monitoring of the various sub-systems/ processes involved and helps to remediate any red flags that arise.

Fraud Risk Management

We assist clients in understanding the fraud risks, evaluate existing countermeasures, develop effective anti-fraud policies, systems and controls and train client’s staff by conducting fraud awareness workshops.

Corporate Intelligence Services

We can provide comprehensive reports containing a wide range of information on a business target such as shareholding structure, key management personnel, adverse media coverage, international watch lists check, politically exposed person check, and any pending cases/ litigation. Business leaders can use this information to make better and informed decisions.

Contract Compliance Services

Organisations rely on multiple partnerships to create, market, distribute and/or sell their products and solutions. These partnerships, if not continuously monitored, can result in possible violations of Intellectual property rights/contractual obligations, impacting costs.

In relation to above, our services include contract/agreement compliance reviews, distributor/ agent reviews and media/ creative agency review.

Detect

Have you noticed any anomalies in data? Do you think there is a pattern to these irregularities? It is important to verify anomalies to identify red flags, detect fraud at the earliest and minimise losses.

Fraud and Misconduct Investigation

Our four-pronged approach to fraud detection involves preparing a strategy for i) understanding the issue, ii) gathering and preserving information, iii) analysis of evidence; and iv) assisting in fraud reporting and legal proceedings.

Based on the nature of the issue, we use a combination of tools for our investigation. These include forensic data analytics, digital evidence recovery, background checks, public domain searches, document examination, interview of suspects and key witnesses.

Cyber Fraud Health Check

Our cyber fraud health check can help you to understand if your critical infrastructure (servers, firewalls, laptops/desktops of key personnel, etc.) are susceptible to cyber fraud, or have already been victims of intrusions, malware/spyware infections and data leakage/theft.

Digital Evidence Recovery

Identification, preservation, analysis and presentation of electronic evidence lies at the core of our Forensic Technology practice.

Obtaining digital evidence mainly involves imaging of digital storage media and records on different data computing machines. Imaging retrieves all data file from machine even if they were deleted.

Pre-exit Digital Forensic

Businesses are increasingly facing the brunt of intellectual property theft and data leakage. It is vital for every business to prevent any potential data theft by any existing employee.

We provide pre-exit disk image forensic services that involve analysis of disk images obtained from the official laptops/desktops of key exiting employees few days before exit with an objective of detecting any malafide activities.

In focus

Respond

If the detected fraud calls for a well-designed action, including documentation and communication is not managed properly may result in litigation/ commercial disputes. This can be cumbersome in terms of business disruption, damage to reputation and loss of money.

Incident Response

We can help organisations in understanding the impact of fraud; how it needs to be communicated to stakeholders and provide facilitation in preparation for potential litigation.

Furthermore, we assist our client by equipping them with fraud response plan and enhance their skills by conducting investigation skills courses.

Cyber Fraud Investigation

Our cyber fraud investigation services help you understand the modus operandi of the cyber fraud, the motive of the cyber crime/fraud and the impact of the fraud/crime perpetrated.

This solution also helps in enhancing the cyber controls to be used as a defence against similar attempts in future.

Quantification of Losses and Claims

We provide professional advice and opinion on damages or claims in the context of litigation or arbitration.

The above encompasses both, the quantification of the loss of profits or the consequential loss arising from a variety of business disruptions, such as breach of contract and financial liability.
