Fraud
Investigating, resolving and minimizing the risk of corporate fraud with forensic insight and data-driven solutions.
As businesses expand across borders, technology advances and data multiplies, so does the risk of fraud. Investigation techniques and enforcement frameworks must keep pace. Companies need to know what to look for when investigating and how to prevent fraud. This is especially important as some jurisdictions shift their sights from corporate to individual liability, and greater accountability for failure to prevent fraud.
For 25 years, FRA has been helping clients and their counsel tackle complex fraud. We draw on first-hand experience of what authorities look for to uncover wrongdoing and also target client’s key risk areas to minimize reoccurrence.
In anticipation of the UK's 2024 guidance on the Failure to Prevent Fraud offence, learn how FRA can help mount a good defense.

Integrated Data & Technology
Our client teams bring together forensic accountants, forensic data analytics, digital forensics and data governance experts in order to leverage the specialist, technical skills required to tackle the large amounts of data often involved in today’s corporate fraud cases. Having multi-disciplinary teams allows us to give clients insight into the data that matters, frequently identifying anomalous, problematic dealings amidst massive volumes of structured and unstructured data.
These integrated skills equally benefit clients undertaking proactive fraud risk management. The more data sources can be mined, analyzed and tested, the more likely alerts will be raised before costly investigations or regulatory inquiries arise. Powerful data visualizations also help compliance teams report effectively to internal and external stakeholders, as well as authorities, when needed.
