Could this really happen to me? Recently reported high-profile frauds involving prominent organizations and figures prompt us to ask ourselves this very question. Inevitably, they also serve as a reminder of the importance of taking pre-emptive steps to mitigate the risk of fraud. To this end, fraud risk assessments, a tighter monitoring of internal controls, and anti-fraud training are all part of a proactive and vigilant approach to deterring would-be fraudsters.

Toronto forensic accounting firm nagel + associates inc. brings an abundance of first-hand knowledge and insight about how internal controls are overridden or bypassed, and how complex frauds are perpetrated, based on our experience conducting hundreds of forensic investigations over more than 20 years.

Drawing from this experience in investigating fraud, including interviewing countless witnesses and suspects, nagel + associates advises organizations about their exposure to fraud and provides specific and practical recommendations to reduce their risk of falling victim to it.
