Fraud and corruption: the importance of the first 48 hours

Between November 2016 and April 2017, our team of Forensic experts held roundtable lunches across the country discussing fraud and corruption and the importance of the first 48 hours.

Just like the television series, '48 hours', which highlights the importance of the first two days in a homicide investigation, other crimes such as fraud and corruption should also be acted on quickly, but in a considered, well planned way.

If the response to incidents of fraud and corruption is not carefully considered and planned, the risk of a poor outcome increases significantly. Poor outcomes include loss of evidence, inability to recover assets and the possibility of litigation brought about by the inappropriate handling of a suspect employee.
