Commercial Crime

Minimising the many business impacts of dishonesty

Overview

Safeguarding more than money

We protect companies because we know that financial loss is not the only impact of commercial crime. Real protection understands that it is also important to help retain disappointed customers, revive a damaged brand and boost employee morale.

Guarding against the inside job

It can be hard to fathom that your own staff might be stealing from you. Unfortunately, the truth is that it may be the most trusted and senior staff who have the knowledge to skirt round security and set up well-concealed fraud systems.

Threat of Fraud

Your company faces the threat of fraud every day, not only from trusted employees but also from external, intrusive and unknown third parties. The failure to protect your assets adequately from criminal activities may have serious repercussions.

Fraud is not just a one-off occurrence and companies may be subject to repeated attacks by their own employees or outsiders. Collusive fraud, in particular between company employees and suppliers, is on the rise. Crime is real, it is intrusive, it hurts and it is continually growing and evolving.
