Overview 

• Some of the most respected companies in the world such as World Com, Enron, Anderson, Xerox, Tyco and even Halliburton in Nigeria have been indicted of some degree of financial scandals.
• In another development, employees often steal their employers’ blind. When the enemies within bilk their companies of their money, they do so via manipulation of financial records and statements with tracks fully covered or completely erased.

Our engagement in this area is focused on resolving allegations of infractions on company policies, irregularities and all other forms of financial impropriety from inception to conclusion using Forensic Techniques. We also assist organisations in developing and implementing Corporate Fraud Policy to protect the rights of Auditors or Forensic Investigators in the company and at the same time excluding the usual “Rights of Privacy” claims by perpetrators.
