Fraud Detection Starts with Asking the Right Questions

Approximately 77 percent of corporate fraud is committed by employees working in accounting, customer service, purchasing, and finance. When your business faces any kind of challenge — especially when fraud detection services may be needed — our team of experts can make the difference. Using intelligent technology and global capabilities, we provide information in multiple areas, including:

Litigation support
Investigation of business and financial misconduct
International asset tracing
Analysis of business relationships

We provide our clients with a comprehensive risk assessment to help make informed decisions and reduce financial and reputational risk.

Monitor the Risks After the Deal Is Done

After a business transaction or acquisition is concluded, the challenge of due diligence, monitoring risks, and maintaining a competitive advantage has only just begun. Our suite of monitoring services ensures that your business partners, suppliers, and sales agents operate with integrity.

Products That Detect Warning Signs to Protect Your Reputation

Cisive provides early notification of emerging reputational risks and can advise on changes to make in the direction of your company’s financial health and reputation.

Ongoing monitoring acknowledges the reality that even though a subject may have been cleared during pre-investment due diligence, time and circumstances can change. We advise clients on periodic and targeted re-screening programs. In addition, our experts have tools to continually monitor a dashboard of inputs and provide clients with early warning of reputational risk, financial problems, changes in ownership, involvement of politically exposed persons, and other variables. Our technology and global reach can provide invaluable assurance to our clients.
