Fraud investigation for the energy sector

Differences between metering and billing, materials without a verified destination and inconsistent maintenance contracts call for a coordinated investigation. Baruch connects documents, field records, access logs and system changes to establish what happened and inform action on contractors, controls and the amounts involved.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

From the situation to investigation deliverables.

See which facts need clarification, the relevant services and the deliverable associated with each one.

SITUATION 01

Persistent differences in metering and billing

Readings and bills show persistent differences alongside manual adjustments without clear justification. The company needs to compare field records, work orders and system changes to distinguish measurement faults, process errors and possible manipulation, identifying when a separate technical assessment is needed.

Related deliverables

Decision supported

Decide which differences need further investigation and which recording and approval controls need changes.

SITUATION 02

Materials and equipment without a clear trail

Cables, meters and equipment leave the warehouse for service work but do not appear in installation records. Maintenance charges repeat and approvals are concentrated on one contractor. The company needs to reconstruct deliveries, identify those responsible and compare material consumption with payments.

Related deliverables

  • A map of material movements, installations, work orders and payments examined.
