The prevention, detection, and investigation of fraud and misconduct Fraud, corporate crime, commercial disputes and litigation can jeopardize an organization’s integrity and reputation, undermine confidence, and attract regulatory intervention as well as negative media attention. Forensics helps clients reduce reputational risk and commercial loss. By applying accounting, investigation, technology and industry skills we can help prevent and resolve commercial disputes, fraud, misconduct, and breaches of rules and regulations. We establish the facts, collect and preserve evidence, assist recoveries and lay a foundation for criminal or civil action. We can make use of technology tools to help clients deal effectively with large amounts of data and documentation, to manage and disclose important material or highlight fraud, weaknesses and business opportunities from within corporate data. Our specific services include:

• General fraud and anti­corruption consulting
• PFMA assessment and review of procurement procedures, forensic investigations into alleged fraud, corruption and theft, for the purposes of disciplinary proceedings, criminal and or civil litigation
• Development of fraud and anti­corruption policies and codes of conduct
• Assessment, monitoring and review of fraud and anti­corruption policies and programs
• Data analysis

Our track record: We have been involved on a number of forensic assignments in the public and private sectors and we were more recently engaged on a forensic investigation at one of the top listed mining companies on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
