Anti-Fraud & Investigation Services

MDD's team of Certified Fraud Examiners, Certified Public Accountants/Forensic Accountants and Certified Internal Auditors have considerable experience analyzing a range of fraud allegations and losses, including employee expenses fraud, credit card fraud, contractor billing fraud, embezzlement and many other schemes that are the result of misappropriated cash, assets and/or merchandise.

Smaller businesses may not be able to effectively create a full separation of responsibilities, thus allowing a single employee to have too much control over company finances, which can lead to employee dishonesty. Even larger organizations with a solid set of controls and a reasonable checks-and-balances system can be undermined through weak controls, management over-ride and employee collusion.

We are able to assist with the following:

• Fraud and employee misconduct investigations
• Anti-fraud consulting (includes detection and preventive measures)
