Business Crime Risk Management & Business Continuity
ALL businesses, large or small, can be affected by business crime and its devastating effects on business continuity. The DAC approach is to install procedures and - more importantly - instill the right mentality through training and education, to prevent business crime from occuring in the first place.
DAC takes a practical approach, segmenting our analysis into:
- Staff recruitment (eg CV screening); employment (eg use of computers, client entertainment); resignation (eg taking information to competitors)
- Physical crimes: optimising surveillance equipment and reducing risks; implementatng effective procedures
- Finance: white collar crime; order skimming and expense fraud
- IT: protecting your assets - all your company records could be copied onto one USB pen!
- Intellectual property: where is your information stored - and - who has access to it?
- Risk analysis: identifiying your risks in relation to HR, finance, operations and sales organisation
- Prioritised list of actions to improve procedures and decide on investment
- Advice on physical security: from fencing to surveillence equipment - focus on efficiency not capital expenditure
If you have suffered a business loss or are concerned about business continuity then we are able to conduct investigations into the source of your problems and recommend solutions to prevent future losses.
