Corporate fraud is costing British companies an estimated £5 billion a year but the total could be considerably higher because many firms are reluctant to tackle the problem, says a report by the London Business School. Some companies are being forced into liquidation because white collar crime ranging from computer fraud to industrial espionage, corruption and petty pilfering, has got out of hand.
In recent years British businesses admitted losing £150 million in blue and white collar crime. The real figure may be substantially higher if estimated unresolved crimes are included. Many of today's projects and corporate organisations are run in a volatile environment where margins are being continually eroded. Companies can no longer afford to suffer losses through bad management, lack of training or lapses in security. Very often it is an outside agency that can identify the areas of risk which may have become accepted or overlooked in the day to day running of a company or business - can your company afford to overlook it's potential risks?
It is our experience that this is a growth area and we have been able to meet the rising demand for in-depth investigations of suspected fraudulent claims by bringing to bear the skill of investigation and statement taking, acquired during service with the Metropolitan and City of London Police Company Fraud Department. Meticulous and painstaking examination of criteria, close scrutiny of questioned documents and surveillance upon dubious or doubtful claimants in accident injury claims often identifies 'glaring evidence' of a fraudulent claim. As a consequence of our investigations our insurance clients have regularly benefited from substantially reduced settlements, or the complete withdrawal of the claim.
We are regularly instructed by solicitors in matters of litigation to trace assets and conduct pre-sue report investigations. Asset tracing is a key factor when investigating fraud in bankruptcy and liquidation cases, and the tracing and interviewing of creditors and witnesses is essential in the collation and gathering of evidence in Director Misfeasancy actions. From the service of process, the tracing of debtors and witnesses, to complex fraud investigations, and due diligence research, we provide diversity and professionalism to our clients.
