FRAUD INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES, LLC is a Georgia-based professional services firm specializing in the deterrence, detection and prevention of occupational fraud. We use a variety of tools and resources to uncover and correct illegal activities that can undermine the profitability of your business. Specializing in small to mid-sized companies in all industries, our mission is to assist in preventing fraudulent activities within your organization before they occur. Our philosophy is simple; it is far less expensive to deter and prevent fraud than it is to detect and correct fraud.
At Fraud Investigative Services, we believe in the concept of a total Fraud Risk Management System (FRMS). This system entails a six step approach to managing the risk of fraud within your organization. We create a climate of fraud awareness to discourage and detect malfeasance in your organization thereby increasing the perception that fraud will be detected throughout your organization.
- We determine the vulnerability of your organization to fraud. We begin with a Fraud Risk Checkup (FRC) to establish a baseline, and proceed to a Fraud Risk Assessment (FRA) which examines in detail, where your organization is most likely to experience fraud.
- We conduct observation and inquiry of the internal and external processes of your business as they relate to opportunities to commit fraud. This involves interviews with your employees as well as discussions with management.
- We analyze the findings and issue a report with an executive summary on the findings.
- We recommend anti-fraud control procedures based on best practices within your industry.
- We implement best practices anti-fraud control procedures for the mitigation and prevention of fraud.
- We educate management and employees about fraud schemes and their respective red flags with our proprietary Fraud Prevention Training course (FPT).
If your organization already suspects that it has been victimized by internal theft or fraud, we analyze transactions and search for evidence. We look beyond the numbers with a keen sense of skepticism with the intent of uncovering suspicious or fraudulent activity.
Unfortunately, criminals always keep a step (or two) ahead of honest businesspersons. The organizations that believe they are not vulnerable are often the easiest targets of fraud.
Allow us to be your ounce of protection...or, if needed, your pound of cure. |
