Head of Forensics
In reality, employees commit all corporate misconduct, either acting alone or with outside accomplices, such as suppliers. Employees know too that the risks of discovery are usually slim if they know the organisation's systems, policies, and procedures well enough to avoid suspicion. Despite intense efforts to stamp out misconduct, corruption and misappropriation of assets, it appears that wrongdoing in its various forms is a problem that is increasing in frequency and severity. BDO offers a multidisciplinary approach to its investigations that helps organisations detect, prevent and combat fraud and corruption through a multiplicity of supportive actions.
In assessing the risks that face organisations, one can be proactive or reactive in the approach to combating them. An organisation cannot exist in a vacuum; in its dealings, it interacts and transacts with individuals and other entities. In these interactions, it has to protect itself and ensure that the parties it deals with espouse their values.
Our forensic investigative methodology is based on a multi-dimensional approach that utilises the skills, approaches and practices of various industries, including but not limited to ex-law enforcement, accounting, IT and legal professionals to allow for a holistic approach when dealing with forensic investigations.
