All organisations, particularly those looking to expand through merger or acquisition, must remain aware of the potential to be exposed financially through corruption by association, internal fraud or poor market judgement.
Deloitte Forensic provides fast, accurate and essential business intelligence to assist businesses in safeguarding against many areas of financial risk.
We provide services in the following categories:

Business intelligence - LookFirst

Organisations often fail to undertake non-financial background checks on potential corporate partners, acquisition targets and new suppliers of goods and services. Our experience shows there is a strong correlation between companies that carried out background checks and success in their investments.
Our business intelligence service, 'LookFirst', provides a global capacity to retrieve specialist information in support of litigation, asset searching and in the assessment of the suitability of key personnel.

Risk management

Risk may not be avoidable but it can be managed. We specialise in helping you manage those risks that can prevent your organisation from achieving its objectives. In addition to managing risk, our expertise will help your business turn risks into opportunities.

Fraud control strategies - FraudScan

It is essential that every business attacks fraud in a coordinated way. This means implementing a fraud control strategy. An essential part of that strategy is to conduct a fraud risk assessment to establish and treat those areas of greatest risk. Our better practice approach to fraud control will help safeguard your business and your bottom line.

Performance audit

Our performance audit specialists have over 20 years experience in Australia and overseas, as well as an outstanding record, in delivering performance audits on time and budget and in a form tailored to client needs. We ensure that the audit is fully informed of latest developments and good practice in the field. We deliver a cohesive report that adds value, as well as meeting accountability requirements.

Probity audit

When it comes to tendering and procurement, allegations of favouritism and bias are common. Our specialist probity auditors provide the necessary expertise to ensure that you achieve accountability, transparency and value for money.

Regulatory compliance planning and systems

The introduction of the Managed Investments Act into the funds management industry signalled an era of increasing industry compliance. Having helped to develop, with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, the guidelines for reporting and compliance in this industry, we are well positioned to help you.
