Fraud & Financial Crime Prevention

No organisation is immune from fraud, corruption or financial crime.

Fraud, corruption and financial crimes such as money laundering can be perpetrated in many ways by customers, suppliers, contractors, employees, managers, executives, boards, or a combination of these.

Global studies and surveys consistently highlight that fraud, corruption, and financial crime are on the rise in terms of both quantity and the variety of schemes. Fraudsters are becoming smarter and more sophisticated.

The types of fraud vary from industry to industry and include credit card fraud, phishing, account takeover, forgery, smurfing, theft, false statements, false invoices, insider fraud, overcharging, counterfeiting, kiting, lapping, collusion, corruption, online banking fraud, deposit fraud, cheque fraud, and POS fraud.

Accusations and convictions of fraud can be devastating to a company’s reputation. Effective fraud, corruption, and financial crime control will save thousands of dollars and significantly reduce reputational risk.


"Corruption, embezzlement, fraud, these are all characteristics which exist everywhere.
It is regrettably the way human nature functions, whether we like it or not.
What successful economies do is keep it to a minimum"
- Alan Greenspan
