Fraud risk assessment and prevention expertise

No company is spared from fraud, whether internal or external. Each of them can be confronted with this type of risk.

INQUEST’s consultants have developed real business skills in identifying proven fraud on a daily basis, enabling them to intervene in a targeted manner:

• When it comes to fraud prevention, INQUEST consultants deliver specific training adapted to each company: case studies, fraud risk mapping, methodology, best practices, etc. They teach internal teams how to identify and prevent this type of risk.
• In case of suspected fraud, the investigation must be carried out quickly. INQUEST is able to put in place a fully reactive team to provide a concrete response with a fraud audit: in-depth accounting and financial analysis, creation of a file of evidence, proposal of corrective measures internally… Thanks to this financial audit, the company circumscribes the fraud, evaluates the losses and reinforces internal control to limit future risks.

In each complex situation, INQUEST accompanies its clients step by step in the management of financial risks and in the protection against fraud.
