Investigations

Each year companies around the world lose billions of dollars from white-collar crimes such as fraud or the violation of laws, regulations or internal directives. These episodes damage a company's reputation and undermine public trust in the market. It's clearly incumbent on boards of directors and management at all levels to get to the root of such incidents without delay.

They use modern techniques of data analytics, correct financial reports if required and communicate with the regulators.
