The number one biggest surprise found in a corporate fraud investigation

There are a few common surprises our clients experience when conducting a  corporate fraud investigation and it happens like clockwork.

First just to state the obvious, we are contracted to help businesses figure out what has been going on in their business… what they have not been able to identify.  That alone is a hurdle many business owners and or managers never get over.  Admitting to an outside source that there is something out of control is a very difficult process for many.  Usually this happens only after a very long period of losses occurs and the pain is so great that facing the truth of what is happening hurts less than the pain the issue is inflicting onto the bottom line.

The number one suprise in a  corporate fraud investigation is that usually the person stealing is never the person that is suspected of stealing.  Quite often it is the last person anyone suspects.  Thieves can be very good at their con of winning favor and influence within an organization.  This is the trust they use to steal.  Usually this person is in some form of management that gives them the freedom they need to steal.

If the person stealing is the suspect, at that time it has likely been going on for so long that they got sloppy and left a trail that was obvious.  At this point the case could easily be into the seven figures.

If you suspect you are a victim of corporate fraud you owe it to yourself to consult a professional regarding a  corporate fraud investigation .
