The prevention, detection, and investigation of fraud and misconduct

KPMG Forensics with experienced professionals use accounting, investigation, intelligence, technology, economics and deep industry skills alongside consistent global methodologies to help reduce reputational risk and commercial loss, and to improve the value obtained from existing contracts.

The changing nature of business has created new opportunities, but also new risks and potential

These include:

the increasing sophistication of fraud, organized crime and terrorism more complex legislation and regulations, some with increasing extra-territorial reach
developing challenges around technology
complex cross-border disputes
pitfalls from expanding into emerging markets
dependencies on unfamiliar business partners more complex supply and distribution channels
theft and misuse of intellectual property.
