Fraud Investigation

The Stanford Research Institute estimates that the rate of fraudulent crimes grows at 500% per annum. It grows because of the level of trust that is placed in personnel working in "positions of trust".

In the U.K., the Daily Telegraph estimated that the four main U.K. Clearing banks had made £98 million provision for computer-related fraud alone.

Perhaps even more frightening is the fact that of all frauds perpetrated only some 1% are found in time to take some form of action. Of those discovered, only 20% will be prosecuted and of those prosecuted only 5% are convicted. In other words, the odds are 10,000 to 1 in favour of the fraudster not going to prison.

However, thanks to Agencies such as D & K Investigations & Consultants, these figures are rapidly changing. D & K has created an elite team of Forensic Auditors and Computer "Wizards". With years of experience in the field, our investigators will carry out their investigations methodically and with military precision. Years of experience have shown our teams that the four main reasons for fraud are:

If none of these motives can be found among key personnel, our investigators will look for grounds for Blackmail, which could include adultery, homosexuality or petty crime.

Once the threat is identified, and the case closed, D & K will provide management with ideas for implementing new systems and security measures should the client so wish.

The following statistics could be of interest. Should you recognise some of these in any of your staff members, BE CAREFUL:
