If you've lost control of who signs what, how referrals are being tracked, or whether fraudulent claims are flying under the radar, you're not alone. We've worked with companies that thought they had checks in place — until they didn’t. Below is how we tackle this:
We examine current fraud prevention mechanisms, identify breach points, and flag weak access permissions. Many referral scams stem from sloppy logins and loopholes in accounting workflow. We map and highlight where it’s going wrong.
Using transaction sampling, payment velocity checks, and referral trail mapping, we break down the behavioural patterns behind the issue. This step often brings up the "how" and the "who" in suspected insider fraud.
When you need to pass a fraud case to law enforcement or a regulatory body, packaging matters. We structure the facts, cross-reference the evidence, and format the handover in a way that clears red tape and gets attention.
Many businesses fall prey to fake vendor billing and affiliate-based referral loops. We trace indirect beneficiaries, shell entities, and contractual misuses by third parties that often slip past basic due diligence.
Where gaps exist in accountability, we conduct structured interviews with relevant staff. Our method is non-accusatory and aligned with ACAS guidance, but designed to extract factual inconsistencies.
If your business runs reward-based or affiliate referral structures, we audit them for loopholes. This includes self-referral detection, IP overlap monitoring, account cycling, and repetitive reward abuse.
We go through the internal documents you may want to submit
Where needed, we bring in forensic accountants and specialists. But only after we’ve scoped the issue. We don’t push referrals unless you need them — and when we do, they’re planned and based on case merit.
