Fraud Detection & Prevention
Risk takes many forms. It is always present. The choice is whether to accept that risk or transfer it away – usually at a cost.
Success in business is achieved by taking risks. But uncontrolled risk can quickly lead to fraud, especially in economically challenging times. Avoidable risk is likely to damage a business, is unacceptable to errors and omissions/professional indemnity insurers, and will cause shareholders and investors to lose confidence in the company’s management team.
Fraud investigation
Looking at fraud prevention is the proactive approach, supported by insurers and regulators. Investigating a potential fraud that may have already occurred is the reactive approach. This is about damage limitation and business survival. MAPS® solely use former economic crime police officers when investigating any potential frauds.
