Fraud Prevention

With full support from an organization and proper implementation, an effective anti-fraud program can serve to significantly reduce the risk of fraud and increase the likelihood that, if fraud does occur, it will be detected at an early stage. BDO’s fraud prevention services assist in promoting best practices designed to promote an environment that reduces the risk of fraud and allow it to be exposed early should it occur. Seasoned fraud investigators developed the BDO's Fraud Prevention practice based on the skills and insights they gained through conducting numerous fraud investigations. An anti-fraud program can help an organization identify, remediate and monitor the specific risk factors that set the stage for fraud.
