Forensic Investigations
MAKING ACCOUNTABILITY COUNT
Forensic Investigation
Duja Consulting is a forensic practice and for nearly 20 years, we have been involved in the planning and leading of various large scale Forensic Audit investigations.
Our Forensic Practice is a corporate member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE).
We have adopted a project management framework that ensures quality throughout audit and forensic assignments.
The Duja forensic practice consists of a dedicated team of forensic investigators who are trained and experienced to ensure compliance to legislation and the project managers ensure a high level of operational standards.
Fraud Risk Management
To minimize the negative impact of fraud, corruption and/or other economic crime within a business, it is of utmost importance to develop a Fraud Risk Management Plan (FRMP).
Duja can assist its clients with the development / enhancement and implementation of a FRMP, which will be aligned to their clients’ organisational strategy.
DUE DILLIGENCE / BACKGROUND CHECKS
At Duja, we focus on the retrieval of specialised background information from a broad spectrum of databases.
We legally obtain data from public records and databases and maintain a high degree of confidentiality and discretion through the entire inquiry process.
We can assist clients with the following:
Criminal checks on employees (written consent is required from the party whom the check will be conducted upon).
3rd Tier business interest analysis. The analysis will assist clients in identifying if any employees hold business interests in vendors and/or clients.
Lifestyle audits, using various data access points and tools during the audit process
COMPUTER FORENSICS
Computer Forensics entails the securing and analysis of digital evidence in a manner that can be presented in any criminal and civil proceedings and which can withstand the judicial process.
Most organisations in business today rely on computer related infrastructure, network and internet connectivity for their business operations.
Technological advancements have enabled business to work smarter, communicate better and in instances provide and edge over the competitor. However, with the technological advancements there are numerous risks that the organisation suffers. Below are some areas of risk that organisations face in the technological arena:
Network intrusion and unauthorised system access
Amendment of supplier data on the suppliers’ master file and unauthorized supplier payments due to compromised user credentials
Theft of intellectual property by former employees using external USB devices, email facilities and cloud storage services
Destruction of company information in electronic format
The creation of fictitious invoices and credit notes
Utilisation of company resources to conduct private business affairs
