Most businesses do not have a fraud problem - they have a structure problem that creates risk.

  • Too much authority concentrated in one person

  • Limited oversight of cash and payments

  • Weak or inconsistent processes

Our Approach

Risk Identification

 

Where problems can occur

Where too much control exists in one role

 

Control Design

          Practical and scalable:

Segregation of duties

Approval workflows

Disbursement controls

Reconciliation procedures

 

Monitoring

Review processes

Exception identification

Ongoing adjustments

 

Key Principle

Fraud is driven by opportunity.

Internal controls reduce opportunity.

 

Proactive vs Reactive

Reactive approach:

Forensic accounting

Investigations

Legal costs

 

Our approach:

Prevent issues before loss occurs

Improve visibility

Strengthen systems

 

Most financial losses in small businesses occur because basic controls are missing—not because schemes are complex.

 

Our role is to help you put practical controls in place that match your business.
