Forensic

Forensic Services

Our international Forensic network of over 1,100 professionals possesses significant industry knowledge supported by considerable experience in both local and global markets. KPMG firms are in the business of assisting clients where facts and

people don't agree or behavior does not comply with expectations and/or regulations.

Fraud and Misconduct Investigations

KPMG firms' robust investigative approach is designed to assist clients who believe themselves victims of fraud or misconduct. We establish the facts, find out what's gone wrong, make recoveries of stolen assets and take further criminal, disciplinary or civil action as appropriate.

Our team of forensic accountants, lawyers, investigators and forensic technology professionals can gather and preserve evidence, conduct interviews, freeze assets and report sensitively. We aim to ensure confidentiality, compliance with legal and ethical guidelines, and can assist you in managing potential reputational risk.

Fraud Risk Management (including Ethics and Integrity Services)

It is fundamental to understand fraud and its associated risks when building a robust and deliverable business strategy.

KPMG firms can provide you with an objective opinion on the quality of your current fraud governance program by identifying gaps, and assessing possible fraud and misconduct risks. We can also help you decide on practical and cost-effective action plans. We have considerable experience in delivering fraud awareness training to alert front line staff and management to the early warning signs of fraud and how to manage these risks effectively.

Forensic Technology

Investigations, dispute resolutions and regulatory assignments increasingly revolve around information collected, stored and manipulated on computers. Our team has the tools, techniques and skills to assist in:

  • Capturing digital evidence
  • Manipulating large volumes of data to identify anomalies, suspicious transactions, links between suspects, key emails and attempts to manipulate financial records
  • Providing access to captured data through a web-enabled service (e-Disclosure).

We aim to work to the standards established by law enforcement agencies in the many jurisdictions in which KPMG firms operate.

Corporate Intelligence (CI)

Part of managing risk involves being sure of whom you are dealing with, both internally (those you entrust to run your business) and externally (those with whom you do business), particularly if you have interests in unfamiliar jurisdictions where reliable and accurate information can be hard to obtain.

KPMG firms' CI teams gathers and assimilates information from various public and non-public sources to help companies make informed decisions on issues such as joint ventures, investments, recruitment, mergers and acquisitions, and disposals.

Intellectual Property and Contract Compliance Services

Many companies have commercial relationships with third parties where payments and receipts are based on self-declarations that can be difficult to monitor, verify, or check. These relationships frequently arise from the licensing of various forms of intellectual property rights, such as patents, copyright or know-how.

KPMG firms take a multidisciplinary approach to these services, enabling us to understand partnering relationships for a large range of contractual compliance obligations. Our forensic background allows us to focus on facts rather than on opinions. We have helped many of our clients gain full value due from contracts and intellectual property rights; this has allowed our clients to maintain or improve relationships with their partners while achieving recovery/fee ratios often in excess of 15:1 through increased revenues or reduced costs.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML)

Financial regulators in many jurisdictions have made it clear that action will be taken against organizations and individuals who do not introduce effective AML systems and controls.

KPMG firms' AML professionals can help clients to:

  • Formulate, review and improve their AML policy
  • Train relevant staff on their responsibilities
  • Provide due diligence reviews on customers, suppliers and other third parties
  • Select appropriate AML systems
  • Carry out money laundering investigations and reviews.
