01 / When it makes sense
When to engage this service.
Concerns involve physical and digital fraud: diverted goods or funds, false documents, irregular purchases or expenses, collusion between people and suppliers, or online scams. An investigation helps establish what happened and gather evidence.
For decision makers
Fraud, Internal Audit, Compliance, Legal, Finance and Operations teams facing losses or concerns in physical and digital processes.
In practice
Does this sound familiar?
Hypothetical examples of situations where this solution can help your organisation.
False documents and collusion
Invoices, purchases or expenses show discrepancies and possible collusion between staff and suppliers. Paper documents, approvals and digital records need comparison.
Telecom registrations and commissions
Customer registrations, SIM activations, commissions and device deliveries do not match. The operation needs to cross-check records to decide which suspected fraud or diversion requires further investigation.
Payment to a fake supplier
A supplier's bank details change and a payment goes to another recipient. Procurement, Finance and Legal need to connect orders, approvals, messages and payment records to decide what to do next.
