Internal Audit Services (IAS) specializes in the detection and deterrence of a wide variety of fraudulent conduct – from discovering employees or executives who misappropriate company assets – to false allegations regarding employment practices liability. In many cases, restitution is all that is wanted by companies, not criminal prosecution. Internal Audit Services should be your first call, before the police, to assess the situation so as not to tip off the perpetrator(s) that you are on to his or her activity. Internal Audit Services can evaluate the wrongful activity, conduct an internal examination, including behavioral interviews with suspects and coworkers, and determine who is the culprit. IAS virtually always ends up with signed confessions and resignations and a promise of restitution. Exposing the fraud and liability not only saves the company money, but it also helps the guilty individual by allowing them to release the burden of covering up the fraud so they can face their wrongs and make it right. Clients get cost-effective peace of mind knowing that a potentially costly internal problem has been removed and that preventive measures have been established to minimize future internal problems. We work with you to address the shortcomings in operating procedures and internal controls that lead to losses. We conduct training sessions to help corporate officers, managers and directors identify fraud and recognize the Red Flags indicating fraud or potential liability in the workplace. We also assist internal auditors, CPAs, attorneys, human resources, insurance carriers, business management and law enforcement in fraud examination and loss prevention through forensic auditing and forensic interviewing techniques. If you don’t have a current theft or fraud situation, we can help you to develop activities and policies designed to thwart potential losses and create a climate that deters internal crime.
