Financial Crime

Financial crime can involve a wide range of criminal offences, for example labor crime, money laundering, fraud, embezzlement, tax evasion, corruption, breach of trust, debt crimes and a number of other offences.

Financial crime is one of the biggest threats to the private business world, their owners and employees. Such actions can threaten the company's existence, the trust of customers, suppliers, partners and the authorities, in addition to the fact that both the company and its representatives can be prosecuted.

We have extensive experience in assisting owners, the board of directors or senior management in investigating suspicions of financial crime, as well as establishing preventive measures to prevent this type of crime in the business.

Prevention of financial crime

Essential to preventing financial crime in one's own business is to know and understand internal vulnerabilities and which threats can affect the business.

With a background in assisting with risk assessment, we help the management with the preparation of a framework to protect the business in accordance with national requirements and international standards.

We also assist with training measures and raising awareness of the risk of financial crime based on incidents in most industries.
