Investigations

Our Forensic Services team has the knowledge and experience necessary to conduct comprehensive fraud investigations. Our team in Poland has jointly performed in excess of 200 investigations. We have performed investigations on behalf of shareholders, management boards, regulatory bodies and other interested parties (e.g. banks or other creditors).
Our knowledge of finance combined with the latest investigative techniques ensures that our Clients receive the optimal solution to critical situations. We differ from other financial advisors/experts as our skills become crucial when financial issues become legal problems. 

If you are an owner, a board member or otherwise responsible for managing an organisation, imagine that following potential issues might occur within your organisation:
 

• Your organisation has suffered asset misappropriation in any form, including theft of cash or other assets, procurement fraud, expense or payroll fraud, loan or mortgage fraud, theft of commercial secrets, or diversion of revenues
• You need to respond to bribery and corruption claims, including Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) breaches
• There is a suspicion of accounting fraud or manipulation (whether at group, company or divisional level), or inappropriate or inadequate disclosure
• There are concerns about the adequacy or effectiveness of anti-fraud programmes and controls over financial reporting
• You suspect that there are breaches of ethics, conflicts of interest and other forms of management and employee impropriety within your organisation.

• Investigate the nature and extent of the fraud or irregularity and any losses arising from it
• Identify and quantify any accounting misstatements and advise on changes to accounting or disclosure that may be required
• Using evidence from the investigation, as well as publicly available sources, we can evaluate the viability of third parties as targets for recovery actions
• Work closely with lawyers to frame freezing and disclosure orders
• Analyse further evidence, such as bank records, obtained under disclosure orders
• Produce factual and/or expert reports and other analyses in support of recovery actions
• Assist in the design and implementation of other remedial steps, including improvements in processes and controls to mitigate the risk of recurrence.
