Nowadays, any company can fall victim to fraud. Dishonest borrowers, unreliable contractors, corporate disputes, and corruption can all affect a company’s activity and reputation. Group-IB specialists help promptly prevent threats, understand fraud schemes, and increase the likelihood of recovering lost assets.
We effectively detect:
- Withdrawal of money and assets
- Fraud, misappropriation, and theft
- Fraudulent transactions
- Digital traces of unlawful actions
What anti-fraud measures do you take in your company?
Problems businesses face
Dishonest borrowers
Organizations that fail to fulfil their debt-servicing and repayment commitments and have a questionable reputation pose a risk.
Lower profits and higher expenses
Such instances can point to money or asset withdrawals, for example when the company’s net profits decrease while revenues go up with no plans to increase expenditure.
Corporate disputes
Disputes occur when shareholder rights are infringed to secure more favorable terms or control assets, with little intervention from other shareholders.
Suspected theft of assets
Suspicions arise if the company’s targets are not met, unexpected losses occur, or employees provide conflicting accounts of certain actions.
Suspicious transactions
Such transactions involve either unfavorable terms or fake transactions that are already causing losses.
Abuse of power by management
Sometimes management act against the company’s interests in order to illicitly withdraw or embezzle assets.
