  • Successful businesses place continued emphasis on managing risk. A key element to risk management is the incorporation of a strong system of internal control into a company’s daily operations. Such internal controls help an organization to secure assets and protect them from theft or misappropriation. Unfortunately, businesses are often the victims of management fraud or employee theft. When a company suspects they may have experienced such loss, they want a professional they can trust to help them investigate and quantify the loss to support insurance claims and/or litigation. Our team of professionals is comprised of individuals with specialized education, training and experience in (a) helping clients design effective systems of internal control or helping clients fortify their existing systems of internal control, (b) performing forensic investigations, and/or (c) fraud examinations.
