Corruption
Corruption involves the misuse of power for personal gain, often through bribery, kickbacks, or manipulation of procurement processes. This type of fraud undermines organisational integrity and can lead to significant legal and reputational damage.
Investigation Approach:
-
Document Review: Analysing contracts, procurement records, and financial transactions to identify signs of manipulation.
-
Communication Analysis: Examining emails, messages, and phone records for evidence of inappropriate dealings or collusion.
-
Third-Party Audits: Reviewing the relationships and transactions with external suppliers, contractors, and vendors.
-
Stakeholder Interviews: Conducting confidential interviews to gather information and corroborate findings.
-
Ethical Framework Development: Assisting organisations in creating a code of conduct and anti-corruption training programmes.
