Investigations

To manage risk effectively an organisation should develop an incident management framework and part of that framework should be a robust investigative capability.  Having the ability to respond to incidents and the capability to investigate them fully will allow the organisation to mitigate risk and maintain compliance from within.  The examples below are typical of the types of investigation that POC Management have investigated on behalf of our clients: 

• Fraud
• Counterfeiting
• Asset – Loss or Theft
• Breach of Policy, failure of security controls
• Email and Internet
• Systems Abuse
• Harassment
• Staff Performance

In the modern business environment the emphasis in asset security and fraud prevention is usually placed on the technical aspects of the problem.  Whilst this is crucially important in protecting assets, it is equally important to have documented processes and procedures as well as fully trained personnel in place to combat and investigate incidents such as fraud and misuse of systems.

As well as providing investigative support, POC Management strongly recommends the development of incident management processes and internal controls as a framework within which to investigate incidents and manage risks emanating from people, processes, technology and external dependencies.
