Fraud Risk Assessment

Proactively understanding your vulnerabilities before they become liabilities


Fraud is not a matter of if, but when—especially for organisations operating in complex, fast-moving or heavily regulated environments. Traditional controls, however, are often designed to manage operational or compliance risks, leaving fraud exposure under-addressed until a crisis occurs. A Fraud Risk Assessment enables organisations to systematically uncover potential fraud threats, assess their likelihood and impact and develop targeted mitigation strategies to reduce exposure.

This assessment begins with a deep understanding of the business environment, key operational processes, control frameworks and behavioral factors. Organisations are guided through a structured approach that includes:

  • Identification of inherent fraud risks across financial, operational and third-party functions
  • Evaluation of existing control environments, including preventative, detective and corrective controls
  • Mapping fraud scenarios to critical functions such as procurement, payroll, revenue recognition and expense management
  • Analysis of governance, culture and tone at the top as enabling or mitigating factors
  • Creation or enhancement of a fraud risk register and alignment with enterprise risk management (ERM) frameworks

This proactive process is particularly valuable for companies preparing for IPOs, regulatory inspections or undergoing restructuring. It also demonstrates a mature governance model to stakeholders and provides actionable insights for building a fraud-resilient culture.
