Annemari Krugel
Head of Forensics
It is mostly employees who commit corporate misconduct, either acting alone or with outside accomplices, such as suppliers. Employees know that the risks of discovery are usually slim if they know the organisation's systems, policies and procedures well enough to avoid suspicion. Despite intense efforts to stamp out misconduct, corruption and misappropriation of assets, it appears that wrongdoing in its various forms is a problem that is increasing in frequency and severity. BDO offers a multidisciplinary approach to its investigations that helps organisations detect, prevent and combat fraud and corruption through a wide range of supportive actions.
In assessing the risks that face organisations, one can be proactive or reactive. An organisation does not exist in a vacuum: in its dealings, it interacts and transacts with individuals and other entities. In these interactions, it must protect itself and ensure that the parties it deals with match their values.
Our forensic investigative methodology is based on a multidimensional approach that utilises the skills, approaches and practices of various industries, including but not limited to law enforcement, accounting, IT and legal professionals. This allows for a holistic approach when dealing with forensic investigations.
