Counter-fraud

Fraud’s a disease that can attack your organisation from the outside or within. Whether you’re a charity or a business, we have the experience to help you recover – and to inoculate you against new attacks.

How we help

We can help you to:

  • track down the evidence and help you get your money back;
  • intervene early, investigate, and recover evidence in a forensically sound way;
  • work with the authorities, helping you follow regulations and reporting obligations for internal fraud;
  • recover money through civil action, often without needing to go to court.
  • manage your disciplinary and employment processes;
  • manage external fraud risks including cyber-fraud (ransomware, copied websites, online fraud, cloaked email addresses) as well as fraud by third parties who are managing your money;
  • work on your processes and policies – especially on communications, financial controls, data protection, bribery, corruption and early identification;
  • understand your trustees’ rights and obligations;
  • manage issues relating to website penetration testing, insurance, employment contracts and line management;
  • manage your reputation and protect your brand.

We can also deliver bespoke training to your staff, to make sure they’re equipped to prevent and cure fraud.

If fraud’s on your mind, gives us a ring or pop in for a free half-hour consultation. Ask for Rob Oakley or Mindy Jhittay on 020 7551 7777, or email [email protected].
