Fraud is a significant threat facing businesses around the world. Recent surveys estimate that annual fraud losses range from 1% to 6% of companies’ revenues. One in five surveyed companies has experienced a significant fraud in the past two years.

An investigation of either real or supposed fraud requires the action of professionals with specific skills along with the use of sophisticated IT methodologies to retrieve and analyse information.

Many Companies are also exposed to the risk of a fraud abroad in connection with the activities of their subsidiaries and some times the frauds themselves are originated overseas. As a consequence of that, it is important to have a coordinated approach of all the professionals involved in the investigation. Finally, the actions promoted by those exposed to the fraud must be supported by documentation and proof arising from a financial investigation. The complexity of the matter is then increased when different local GAAP, laws and regulations are involved in the resolution of the matter.

RSM Italy is structured to address all these issues, with the support of the RSM network when the resolution of the matter is linked to activities and evidences to be carried out abroad. We provide a wide range of services connected to forensic activities such as royalty audits, financial investigations, accounting analysis, and preparation of the evidence to support legal action.
