Our Fraud Prevention Service is created to help your organization to design and implement a fraud prevention process or to provide you with an independent and objective evaluation of your fraud prevention program. The service evaluates the three main aspects of a fraud prevention program, which includes:

1. Setting the proper direction within the organization;
2. Proactively identifying fraud risks and monitoring internal controls to prevent and/or detect fraud;
3. Reactive protocols and procedures in the event that fraud is suspected.

This service is not designed to detect or prevent fraud. It is designed to assess, improve or design a management's fraud prevention program, provide recommendations for its improvement, and/or assist management in implementing a program.

The following types of practices and processes will be examined:

1. Code of Conduct/Ethics;
2. Fraud Policies and Procedures;
3. Fraud Awareness Training;
4. Fraud Risk Assessment;
5. Fraud Internal Control Design and Effectiveness Testing;
6. Fraud Response Plan

Our approach to a fraud prevention

We are focusing on determining whether the organization has identified fraud risks and that they have tested the design and effectiveness of internal controls to prevent and/or detect those fraud risks. The fraud prevention activities are:

1. Plan the Fraud Prevention Program Assessment;
2. Understand Program Elements;
3. Finalize the Approach;
4. Conduct the Fraud Prevention Program Assessment;
5. Review Results and Co-Develop Action Plans;
6. Report Results of the Fraud Prevention Program Assessment;
7. Summarize Executive Management/Audit Committee Communications.
