What We Do - Our Services

Our suite of services include the following:

	Fraud Risk Assessment The management of fraud is an essential element not only of a strong corporate governance structure, but also your market reputation and bottom line. Fraud is a distinct risk that needs to be properly identified, assessed and managed to ensure senior management are fully aware of all the risks facing the organisation. Our fraud risk assessment methodology incorporates the principles in the Australian and New Zealand Standard for Risk Management (AS/NZS 4360: 2004) and will assist you to: Identify current fraud risks within your organisation Analyse and evaluate risks identified Determine appropriate risk mitigation strategies Develop a fraud risk register With extensive public and private sector investigative experience, Frisk brings significant insight into the motivations and methods behind incidents of fraud.
	Litigation & Insolvency Support Often when faced with legal action, both plaintiffs and defendants leave the fate of the outcome solely to their legal advisors, in some cases missing potential sources of overlooked evidence which could have tipped the odds in their favour.  If you are already involved in or considering legal proceedings, you want to maximise your chances of a successful outcome. If matters are already afoot, you need both an understanding of the relevant issues and your adversary’s position, as well as their potential weaknesses and areas of leverage, which can be the difference between a reduction in your potential losses and a winnable position. Similarly in insolvency matters, there may be indications of hidden fraud that have not been considered, which may be the difference to staying afloat. Frisk can assist by: Locating and interviewing witnesses Identifying potential hidden assets Undertaking surveillance of parties to proceedings Conducting controlled purchases of counterfeit goods Electronic forensic analysis Assisting in the preparation of Statements of Claim

	Intellectual Property Protection Having spent considerable time, finances, and resources developing a brand, intellectual property theft and counterfeit products represent serious threats to your organisation’s reputation, profit margin, and brand erosion. Industry surveys report that up to a third of all organisations are likely to suffer theft, misappropriation, or misuse of their intellectual property. Frisk can assist you protect your intellectual property, brand, and bottom line by: conducting surveillance to identify and monitor the manufacturers, distributors and importers of pirated product; undertaking controlled purchases of counterfeit product towards a brief of evidence for criminal or civil prosecution; as well as working with management on an intellectual property protection strategy.
	Investigative Due Diligence Forewarned is forearmed. An applicable idiom to the practice of risk management before entering into relationships with potential business partners. Just as important as legal and financial due diligence, investigative due diligence seeks to address the two areas usually overlooked: the reputation and integrity of those you’re considering doing business with. Unlike “information brokering”, Frisk utilises a network of contacts as well as research databases to ethically uncover any information that may later prove adverse to your reputation and investment.

It therefore requires the ability to assess the situation as all stakeholders might perceive it, particularly in situations that stimulate extensive media coverage. Frisk can provide you with crisis management planning expertise to minimise your exposure to potential reputational damage and associated costs. By managing the resolution of the incident and addressing the strategic issues and implications impacting on your organisation, we can provide you with the ability to take appropriate action to contain the damage spread, increasing the confidence and morale of personnel as well as external stakeholders.
