Corporate and production fraud becomes possible because of objectively higher competence of a fraudster in the field of his/her responsibility, compared with the competence of control institutions. Sometimes production or services require narrow specialization to the extent that even most stringent level of control is not capable to penetrate it with its diagnostic tools.

In these “black holes”, free from internal control, certain “schemes” are being created, which make fraud (theft, asset stripping, juggling of accounting data, cost escalation, etc.) possible with impunity and with little serious risk of detection, catching our clients off guard.

Our consultants are thoroughly immersed in industry practices. We investigate fraud with its own exclusive tool – specific competencies in narrow niches of specialization. We do not limit our research by analysis of official data reporting only, albeit such analysis can provide indicators of fraud. We study production processes as they are, linking them to the entire system of procurement and sales, tender procedures and detailed analysis of technological flow charts.

This unique technique enlightens “black holes” of production processes and expose anomaly, which further navigates to the fact of fraud.

Our team provides investigative services to major law firms, financial institutions, major production and manufacturing companies, international pharmaceutical giants and medium size companies in multiple market segments. Our major clients are shareholders of private entities, seeking professional and reasonably priced services in fraud investigation cases.

Our services can also include “black-hole” investigations into accounting, logistics, sales or vendor problems, which may uncover the potential existence of fraud.

In our engagements, we closely work with legal advisors of a client to gather and preserve evidence that withstands scrutiny and could be further used in court. Alternatively, the same evidence, collected by our team, might be used in civil litigation, disciplinary action, filing an insurance claim, or revising business processes or internal controls. It is not so much about the well-deserved punishment of a fraudster, it is more about the creation of efficient model of production/business processes, which makes fraud scheming impossible.

Major advantages of our team:

• Deep understanding of the nature of risks and fraud scheming across industries and market segments in our region (over 100 implemented projects of different scope and targeting) with capabilities of translating it to the needs of specific company
• Advanced analytical techniques, including sophisticated use of data mining and link analysis modules with capabilities of automated vendor screening with unlimited number of targets. By using latest releases of computer forensic tools and well-developed methodology of investigations, the team will be able to minimize its costs and fees charged to customers
• Vast HUMINT resources worldwide and CIS countries regional footprint
• Excellent command of foreign languages and industry standards

We believe that investigation of fraud is a drastic undertaking for modernization and re-engineering of processes within the client’s entity.
