\nFraud signals (red flags)<\/span>

When do you need Prosecure?<\/h2>

No fraud happens overnight. 84% of perpetrators show at least one red flag beforehand. A single tip or inconsistency does not mean fraud; one that is ignored grows.<\/p><\/div>

Tip-off or ethics report <\/span><\/h3>

A serious report has been received about an employee, executive, customer or business partner.<\/p><\/div>

Financial or operational inconsistency <\/span><\/h3>

Unexplained differences in payment, stock, sales, procurement or accounting records.<\/p><\/div>

Suspected employee\u2013supplier relationship <\/span><\/h3>

Possible hidden partnership, conflict of interest, kickback or steered procurement.<\/p><\/div>

Abuse of authority <\/span><\/h3>

Approval processes are being bypassed, or company resources used beyond their purpose.<\/p><\/div>

Allegation of bribery or corruption <\/span><\/h3>

Suspicion of improper payment, gift, benefit or inappropriate relationship.<\/p><\/div>

Risk of evidence loss <\/span><\/h3>

Records may be deleted or altered, or the people involved influenced.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

If one of these signals sounds familiar: let us discuss your situation in confidence \u2192<\/span><\/a><\/p>

\nPrevalence<\/span>

Internal fraud is more common than assumed<\/h2>

Companies lose at least 5% of annual revenue to employee fraud. The picture in T\u00fcrkiye is no different:<\/p><\/div>

85%<\/p>

Around 85% of companies detected at least one fraud case in the last two years.<\/p><\/div>

35%<\/p>

Only 35% of companies carry out fraud risk assessments regularly.<\/p><\/div>

40%<\/p>

In around 40% of companies the total fraud impact was 5 million TL or more.<\/p><\/div>

50%<\/p>

Only 50% of cases are detected within the first year.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

The greatest risk in fraud is late detection.<\/h3>

A case goes undetected for a median of twelve months. One caught within six months costs $40,000; one that runs past five years, more than $1.1 million. Meanwhile records change, witnesses fade, evidence weakens \u2014 and disciplinary and legal decisions become indefensible.<\/p><\/div>

\nWhen suspicion arises<\/span>

The first steps are critical.<\/h2>

Trust matters; but it is not a control mechanism. When suspicion arises, the first decisions determine how defensible the findings will be.<\/p><\/div>

Preserve the evidence<\/p>

Prevent relevant documents, devices, system logs and correspondence from being deleted or altered.<\/p><\/div>

Limit the flow of information<\/p>

Do not spread the allegation unnecessarily; do not alert the people involved at an early stage.<\/p><\/div>

Define an independent scope<\/p>

Clarify the purpose, authority, information sources and decision mechanism of the investigation.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

What we deliver at the end of the investigation<\/h2>
