In the current economic climate, fraud against the private sector is increasing, although dealing with it is not high on the political agenda due to the mounting pressure on public budgets.

Companies who find they are the victims of crime are being increasingly told by the authorities to bring us the evidence and we will take it forward. 



With companies facing the reality of lower profits in the current economic climate, it is more important than ever that they take more responsibility themselves for conducting thorough and compliant investigations to protect their assets and revenues from both internal and external fraud.

Paul Wiseman Investigations regularly conduct independent investigations for our corporate clients who have been victims of fraud.
We are able to:

Investigate how the fraud occurred

Quantify the loss

Use the latest methods of analysis to identify fraudsters

Liaise with police to assist in the prosecution of the fraudsters

Liaise with lawyers to assist in the recovery of assets

Conduct risk assessment programmes to reduce the likelihood of fraud re-occuring

All companies will find that they are vulnerable to fraud, and so it is vital that they safeguard their assets by having a proactive approach to significantly limit their liability and loss. 

It is estimated that companies will lose between 2% and 7% of their turnover as a result of dishonesty by employees, suppliers and customers.

We at Paul Wiseman Investigations can help to minimise that loss by conducting a Fraud Prevention Check-Up on your company that can pinpoint opportunities to save you money.  Fraud is an expensive drain on a company’s financial resources.  In today’s globally competitive environment, no one can afford to throw away the revenues that represent the largely hidden cost of fraud. Those businesses that have identified their most significant fraud costs (such as insurance and credit card companies) have made great strides in attacking and reducing those costs.  If your organization is not identifying and tackling its fraud costs, it is vulnerable to competitors who lower their costs by doing so.

Fraud is a common risk that should not be ignored. Fraud is now so common that its occurrence is no longer remarkable, only its scale.  Any organization that fails to protect itself appropriately faces increased vulnerability to fraud.

A ROBUST ANTI-FRAUD POLICY IS AN INVESTMENT NOT A COST
