Fraud Detection & Prevention

Financial crime is getting smarter. We combine data analytics, tight process controls and expert oversight to catch irregularities before they become losses — and keep integrity built in.

Detect anomalies and protect your assets

Financial crime is more sophisticated than ever, and early detection paired with robust prevention controls is essential to protecting your bottom line. Our Fraud Detection & Prevention service combines data analytics, process controls and expert oversight to uncover irregularities before they become losses — and to build a culture of integrity across your organisation.

Why it matters

Fraud isn't just a headline risk; it's a hidden threat that erodes profit, damages reputation and diverts management attention. Regulators and auditors also expect demonstrable anti-fraud measures. By detecting and preventing fraud proactively, you protect cash and assets from unauthorised withdrawals, fake invoices and expense abuse, strengthen the trust of investors, lenders and customers, stay compliant with Israeli law and international standards, and avoid the time and cost of post-incident investigations.

Our fraud-control framework

1. Data-driven anomaly detection

We deploy tools that scan transactions around the clock, flagging outliers — duplicate invoices, round-figure payments, sudden vendor spikes — for immediate review. By benchmarking current activity against historical norms, we catch subtle shifts that a manual review would miss.

2. Process and control design

We map your workflows to enforce segregation of duties, so no single person can both initiate and approve a payment, and we build dual-approval workflows for high-value disbursements, each backed by an electronic audit trail.

3. Forensic transaction reviews

Periodic deep-dive audits reconcile bank statements, expense reports and vendor contracts to uncover concealed schemes, while document examination verifies invoice authenticity through vendor confirmations, purchase-order matching and delivery proofs.

4. Fraud-risk assessments

A quarterly "fraud scorecard" evaluates your controls, people and systems, identifies high-risk areas and recommends prioritised fixes. Know Your Customer and Know Your Vendor procedures assess third-party integrity before onboarding.

5. Policy development and training

We draft clear anti-fraud policies covering expense reimbursement, gift acceptance, whistle-blower channels and conflict-of-interest disclosure, and run engaging workshops so your team can spot red flags and report concerns without fear.

Steps you can take today

  • Run weekly bank reconciliations — match every payment to a recorded invoice within days, not at month-end
  • Automate exception alerts so you're emailed when a vendor invoice exceeds its usual threshold
  • Rotate duties quarterly across reconciliation, approvals and vendor maintenance to prevent collusion
  • Limit system access on a need-to-know basis and review access logs monthly
  • Publicise a confidential whistle-blower channel — people often spot issues before systems do

Anti-fraud and anti-money-laundering obligations in Israel are governed by the framework overseen by the Authority for the Prohibition of Money Laundering and Terror Financing, with banking-sector guidance from the Bank of Israel.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is my business too small to be a fraud target?

No business is too small — in fact, smaller teams are often more exposed because one person handles multiple financial duties. Simple controls like segregation of duties, dual approvals and weekly reconciliations dramatically reduce the risk without slowing you down.

What's the fastest way to reduce fraud risk right now?

Start with weekly bank reconciliations, automated exception alerts on unusual invoices, and access limited to a need-to-know basis. These low-cost steps close the most common gaps quickly, and we can implement them before the deeper framework is in place.

How do forensic reviews differ from a normal audit?

A standard audit checks that your records are accurate; a forensic review actively looks for concealment — reconciling statements, matching purchase orders to deliveries and confirming invoices directly with vendors to uncover schemes that ordinary reporting would hide.
