Investigation

Every day fraud is on the increase. In the 2010 Association of Certified Fraud Examiners Report to the Nation, it was reported that U.S. organizations now lose an estimated 5% of their annual revenues to fraud. More than 25% of all fraud cases involved over $1,000,000 in fraud losses. The schemes were many: employees making unauthorized transactions causing multi-million dollar losses; hackers obtaining access to customer information through a company’s online portal (or through the office trash dumpster); identity theft; mortgage fraud; and the age old basics of embezzlement, financial statement fraud, and conflict of interest.
