With over 15 years experience of internal audit and financial control behind us we have detected and investigated many cases of employee fraud and negligent working processes resulting in the loss of revenue or cash in businesses

To this end we felt it would benefit businesses if they had access to a user friendly document in the form of a checklist which would bring to their attention any areas of their business that may need further control processes implemented to eliminate the possibility of fraud occurring.

Risk management is essential and very often overlooked during the day to day operation of a business especially during busy and prosperous periods.

Fraud is normally detected when the perpetrator starts to feel complacent and makes mistakes in their transactions one of which may be detected by someone in the organisation. Investigation of this incident may bring to light the fact that the perpetrator has been carrying out the crime for a considerable amount of time and the true extent of fraud may never be established

Prevention of the ability for theft to occur in the first place must be a better option than discovering too late that a trusted colleague has been misappropriating your business funds. This is where our checklists can provide guidance and we hope you will find them of great benefit and that they start to save you money from the moment you complete them.
