Fraud investigations

Economic crimes tend to be committed by managers or senior employees with knowledge of, and access to, your company’s innermost secrets. Economic crime is never a "victimless" crime and is just like any other: it has culprits, and it has victims.

Although the most common fraud is asset misappropriation, fraud is a very general term, and in practice economic crime can take an almost dazzling array of forms: corruption, bribery, product piracy, industrial espionage or financial misrepresentation.

It might be that:

• your company has suffered fraud;
• your company is facing bribery and corruption claims, or there is a suspicion of accounting manipulation, or inappropriate/inadequate disclosure.
