KPMG Forensic has substantial worldwide experience conducting fraud investigations that range from simple employee theft to large-scale, multi- jurisdictional frauds. We draw on a multidisciplinary team with diverse professional experience – by combining our skills in investigation, interviewing, accounting and financial and IT technology (including data mining and manipulation), we are able to manage a wide range of investigations.
Our procedures are designed to establish the facts, gather relevant and admissible evidence, and provide you with the information needed to take an informed decision on the next steps, including disciplinary procedures, criminal accusations and civil actions for recovery of assets or damages suffered as a consequence of the acts or omissions of employees and/or third parties.
Fraud Risk Management
KPMG Forensic utilizes a global Fraud and Misconduct Diagnostic methodology that helps clients to understand and address their risks and vulnerability to fraud, including:
KPMG Czech Republic's Forensic group provides expert witness services in litigation and arbitration on technical accounting matters, damage quantification and business valuations. Such assistance is vital when engaged in commercial disputes following breaches of contract with clients, suppliers or joint venture partners.
Our reports are clear and focused and address issues in a way that a judge or other reader can understand. Our independent and impartial advice can help improve the chances of a dispute being settled at an early stage. We also provide credible oral evidence based on experience in the witness box in different jurisdictions.
Anti-Money Laundering
KPMG Czech Republic's Forensic group has extensive experience in all types of regulatory and competition investigations. We can provide anti-money laundering reviews to determine compliance with legislation or best practice and to highlight the risks and also undertake money-laundering investigations. In Central and Eastern Europe where legislation is regularly amended, this can help reduce the risks of censure by parent companies, investors, and local and international regulators.
Forensic Technology Services
Investigations, dispute resolutions and regulatory assignments increasingly revolve around information collected, stored and processed on computers.
Whether the requirement is to capture digital evidence, analyze transaction data, or deal with high volume document management systems, the Forensic Technology team has the tools, techniques and skills to assist.
Corporate Intelligence Services
Intelligence is often defined as “information for action” and good intelligence is vital in any decision making process. KPMG’s Corporate Intelligence team gathers and assimilates valuable information both locally within Central and Eastern Europe and from around the world to help our clients make better decisions on issues such as acceptance of customers or business partners in unfamiliar markets, fraud investigations and civil or criminal litigation.
