How can we help?
We seek to understand the unique aspects of each case, its underlying issues and fact, to help determine the best approach. We then bring to bear the collective knowledge, experience and judgment of our colleagues in other Deloitte practices (Security & Privacy, Tax and Legal, Data Analytics) and the larger business community to help support our client’s position in a case. Most importantly, we are able to articulate our findings in an organised and persuasive manner, whether in the form of a written report or live testimony in court.

We are able to provide significant support in areas of procurement irregularities, corruption, fraud, theft, conflicts of interest and money laundering. We are able to custom design procurement data analytics databases for clients, enabling the pro-active identification of potential irregularities in your procurement and finances divisions.
We provide comprehensive service including the identification of possible irregularities, the investigation of irregularities, including the collection of evidence, advising on asset recovery strategies and the preparation of case dockets for submission to authorities.
