Your issues
You want to ensure that your company has a best-in-class framework, which addresses fraud prevention and detection activities.
You want to be confident that processes in your company are adequate to uncover significant frauds and bribery/corruption and to avoid claims of negligence if they occur.
You want to make sure that you have the right processes to deal with fraud or other inappropriate acts.
You are looking to develop in-house expertise on forensic capabilities but at the same time have expert support when required.
