Dawn is a fraud Bloodhound! Just ask her.
Online fraud, financial scams and internal fraud are an increasing risk for businesses, and unfortunately even a small weakness in your financial processes can create an opportunity for fraud.
Through previous corporate and bookkeeping roles, I have developed practical experience in identifying, and establishing controls and processes designed to reduce the risk of online fraud and strengthen the financial security of a business.
This can include reviewing the way payments, supplier information and financial transactions are handled and identifying areas where additional checks or procedures may help protect your business.
Depending on your circumstances, I can assist with areas such as:
- Reviewing payment and approval processes
- Strengthening supplier bank-detail verification procedures
- Reviewing who has access to financial systems
- Introducing appropriate checks before payments are released
- Cash handling processes and checks
- Identifying weaknesses in existing bookkeeping and payment procedures
- Developing practical fraud-prevention processes
- Improving internal financial controls
- Helping staff recognise common financial fraud risks
- Reviewing procedures following a suspected fraud attempt or security concern
The objective isn’t to make your financial processes unnecessarily complicated.
It’s about putting sensible safeguards in place so that the right checks happen at the right time.
If you have concerns about fraud, online payment security or the financial controls within your business, please reach out. I’d be happy to discuss the issue with you and explain how I may be able to help strengthen your processes.
