Every case on this page is drawn from real engagements conducted by Prosecure. Under our confidentiality obligations, company, individual, country and amount details are never disclosed; sectors are generalized and events are anonymized in a way that does not change the outcome.<\/div><\/details>\n      <details><summary>Why are company names, countries and amounts not disclosed?<\/summary><div class=\"pz-fa\">Every engagement runs under a confidentiality commitment, and that commitment continues after the work ends. Keeping the cases anonymous is also proof of the confidentiality promise we make in the first consultation: your case will never become reference material either.<\/div><\/details>\n      <details><summary>What does examining a case on ACFE principles mean?<\/summary><div class=\"pz-fa\">The ACFE (Association of Certified Fraud Examiners) is the global professional body for fraud examination. In short, its principles are: an examination starts only on a reasonable basis, hypotheses are tested against evidence, evidence is gathered first from documents and its integrity is preserved, interviews are planned from the periphery to the center, and the report states verified findings rather than opinion.<\/div><\/details>\n      <details><summary>What happens if the allegation is not substantiated?<\/summary><div class=\"pz-fa\">That is a conclusion in its own right \u2014 and often the most valuable one. Reporting an unsubstantiated allegation prevents wrongful disciplinary action, reputational damage and legal proceedings against the wrong person. Cases 2 and 3 on this page are exactly this situation.<\/div><\/details>\n      <details><summary>Can the findings be used in disciplinary and legal proceedings?<\/summary><div class=\"pz-fa\">Verified findings can support management, disciplinary and legal assessments. That is why chain-of-custody discipline is established from the start; we recommend evaluating next steps together with the company\u2019s legal counsel.<\/div><\/details>\n      <details><summary>What should the first step be in a similar situation?<\/summary><div class=\"pz-fa\">Before the allegation spreads, the relevant documents, data and system records should be preserved; then an independent, confidential preliminary assessment should establish the ongoing loss, evidence-loss and legal risks. The initial consultation is confidential and without obligation.<\/div><\/details>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ve23080a elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"ve23080a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"pz-sec\" id=\"how-we-start\">\n  <div class=\"pz-wrap\">\n    <div class=\"pz-seg\">\n      <div class=\"pz-head\">\n        <span class=\"pz-lbl\">Next step<\/span>\n        <h2>How do we start?<\/h2>\n        <p class=\"pz-p\">Three steps: a confidential conversation, a short preliminary assessment, a jointly defined scope.
