White-Collar Malfeasance + Corporate Misconduct

According to The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners’ 2020 Report to the Nations, organizations lose 5% of annual revenue to fraud, causing total losses of more than US$3.6 Billion.

In addition to the economic and reputational damage, institutional fraud and executive malfeasance are human events—an organizational shock adversely impacting culture and morale caused by unethical or unscrupulous behavior and invariably involving the complicity of collaborators and enablers.

We respond at every point in the crisis life-cycle—before, during and after—to help enterprise leadership prevent, resolve and recover.

We advise leaders and directors in assessing and addressing root causes—the key decision and risk control lapses, misjudgments and other blind-spot factors which unwittingly contributed to the incident—as well as in restoring trust and psychological safety.

Mitigating recurrence risks involves more than resolution of a single incident. Key features of our work entail holistic assessments of the human-factor dimensions of risk controls, extrapolating critical lessons to-be-learned and reinforcing internal human risk guidelines and processes by embedding behavioral science-based safeguards across the enterprise.

Our work also involves introducing predictive human factor and soft-data analytics solutions—early warning and incident response protocols—to staunch insider misconduct.
