Forensic line will become integral part of your control environment. Forensic line is primarily for benefit of those who are
interested in long term operation and profitability of the business. Those are usually shareholders, owners, corporate
governance bodies and top management.
Line benefits
Security
Recently, 27% of companies were subject to the fraud activity. This number
represents only discovered fraud. Estimate says that in real this number can
be easily doubled. In other words, every second company faces fraud
activity, mostly committed by their employees.
Prevention
Forensic line represents easy and effective tool not only for the reporting
any fraud suspicion by employees, but also a strong tool for the fraud
prevention.
Responsibility
Recent development of Companies act and other relevant legislation make
management more and more responsible for the right set up of control
environment. Independent Forensic Line represents strong part of the
control environment.
Localization
Such tools are common in the international corporate environment.
However, insufficient localization has significant impact on its efficiency.
Forensic line provides not only multilingual use, but also support of legal
compliance for every selected country.
Line parameters
Anonymity
Anonymity is one of the key attribute to encourage
individuals to make a report. If the Forensic Line was not
anonymous, you would hardly get any report.
Independence
Strongest part of the control environment comes from
principle of independence. Reports obtained from
independent provider are free of any internal influence
and misinterpretation.
Privacy
Privacy and misuse protection of any report is guarantied
by Law firm. It is also guarantied that any report will be
used in compliance with the law and will not be used to
harm any client interest or ethical rules.
