Professional guidance in forensics & litigation

Fictitious invoices being approved, misuse of payment cards or hackers stealing company data: businesses face fraud in a variety of ways. Besides financial consequences, fraud also has a negative impact on your corporate reputation. This impact is often underestimated, along with the aspect of liability risk you face as a director. 

  • Would you like to have an objective assessment to find out how fraud-proof your business is, and what risks lurk? 
  • Are you curious about a set of preventive measures to avoid fraud in your organisation? 
  • Do you need the expertise of professionals to detect and deal with fraud cases in a timely manner? 
  • Would you like your legal advisers to be assisted by experienced specialists in managing a disciplinary, criminal or civil claim? 
  • Do you need guidance in setting up a statutory whistleblowing system in your organisation?
