Professional Private Investigation & Enquiry Agents
CORPORATE FRAUD
Fraud is big business. It costs the UK economy an estimated £219 billion* a year, with the private sector losing £157.8 billion* of which procurement fraud accounts for a staggering £133.6 billion. Procurement fraud includes crimes such as the submission of false invoices or the awarding of contracts in exchange for bribes. Other private sector fraud includes crimes relating to cash skimming, payroll, tax, grant and insurance. With corporate fraud being so prevalent and businesses being so vulnerable due to the scale of expenditure, number of transactions and sheer breadth of fraudulent activity taking place, it is vital for organisations to implement systems to limit their exposure.
With more than three decades of experience in protection and investigation, DPM Facts are highly equipped to assist and will work with you to develop a bespoke system of anti-fraud measures to safeguard your business.
Should the worst happen (or has already happened), the DPM Facts team has the expertise and resources to begin a thorough investigation very quickly to limit the damage and costs to your organisation as well as tracking down the perpetrators. In addition to the economic cost, fraudulent activity can damage a company’s reputation, both internally and externally, limit its ability to trade, reduce employee morale and highlight opportunities for more deception to other potential fraudsters. Thus, it is vital to implement a comprehensive network of controls and safeguarding measures and avoid the potentially catastrophic cost of doing nothing.
