THE
ABACUS FORENSIC
APPROACH
Businesses are continuously challenged by crimes, seemingly without borders, faceless perpetrators, the diminishing availability of documentary evidence, big data, enhanced regulatory burdens, and an increasing demand to predict the occurrence of financial losses, rather than suffering losses. Our methodology and approach has been designed to embrace these challenges and to equip decision-makers with foresight to mitigate financial crime exposure and losses.
Abacus specialises in objective fact-finding and evidence collation missions and engagements. We believe that in every dispute, first finding the relevant and applicable facts, and the appropriate evidential material is as important, if not more, than obtaining independent legal advice. We translate the outcome of such fact-finding and evidence collation missions into unique and result-orientated solutions.
Our constitutional and legal compliant methodology and approach ensures that our clients and stakeholders are treated in a fair, dignified and equal manner. Our investigative methodology is characterised by the incorporation of technology enhancements that facilitate and expedite the execution of our fact-finding missions. We also consult clients about the most suitable technology applications to implement in their organisations to detect, prevent and manage fraud and misconduct.
