Fraud Investigation & Dispute Services - Ernst & Young - Middle East

Fraud Investigation & Dispute Services (FIDS)

Amidst the current economic downturn and turmoil, the ever-present threat of fraud grows stronger.  High profile frauds have surfaced in a number of major markets, as the rapidity of the downturn has denied fraudsters the liquidity and markets necessary to cover their tracks.

Our Fraud Investigation & Dispute professionals help you find ways to identify and monitor fraud risks, investigate cases of alleged occupational fraud and measure the financial implications of disputes.

Our experience across multiple industries and in particular the Middle East is the reason why some of the world’s largest companies — and many of its best-known law firms — turn to Ernst & Young.

Our range of services include:

Anti Fraud Services: provide an independent and objective assessment of the company’s fraud prevention program and assists management in the development/implementation of improvement recommendations.  The Anti Fraud Framework includes the following:

Fraud risk: The human element

Employees accept fraud as a fact of corporate life, yet it is clear that they perceive a gap between what they think companies should do, and what they think is happening in their own work environments. "A survey into fraud risk mitigation in 13 European countries" discusses this perception gap and suggests ways forward for companies. Read more.
