A THOROUGH DEFENCE AGAINST FRAUD

Talk to us about fraud

As certified Fraud Examiners, we have a well-proven set of skills for protecting you against fraud with our financial audit services. We can enhance your corporate governance framework, giving your organisation a robust and practical defence against fraudulent activities. We’ll also ensure you’re familiar and fully compliant with legislation such as the UK Bribery Act 2010.

Fraud can sometimes be well-concealed, making it difficult to detect without expert knowledge and skills. Our team has an in-depth understanding the laws concerning fraud. We’ll support you by resolving allegations of fraud, discovering the true facts, detecting the perpetrators and helping you with asset identification and recovery. All our investigations, even the most complex, are confidential, discreet and professional.

Fraud Prevention via Financial Audit Services

You should already have a programme in place to mitigate against the risk of fraud. But how effective is it?

Fraud Risk Governance 

It’s essential to establish clearly defined roles and responsibilities in defending against fraud. If they’re not already in place, we’ll help you identify the roles, what they entail and who might be best suited to take responsibility. Knowing who is looking out for what is half the battle.

Fraud Risk Assessment

Our financial audit services help you identify the most likely sources of fraud, such as a vulnerable business unit or individual(s), probable types of fraud and possible schemes – which could be aimed at harming your reputation, as well as your finances.

Protect Your Business with Financial Audit Services

  • I instructed AAB to investigate a fraud which had occurred at a remote subsidiary of my institution. They acted promptly and with persistence in researching the financial background, providing me with excellent oral and written reports.

  • The firm's IHT, Trusts and Estates team provided me with highly innovative solutions which produced the exact result that I requested. I asked many, many questions along the way – all of which were ably answered by the team.

    James Thom

  • The reason why we have such a long standing working relationship with AAB is because from the very outset they made a conscious effort to really understand our business. We have always found AAB to be highly professional, competent and skilled.
