FRAUD (RISK) MANAGEMENT
Recognising, preventing and addressing fraud
Fraud impacts organisations at their core – financially, but also in trust and reputation. With a fraud risk management framework from Montis Q, you can effectively prevent, detect and investigate fraud. Our Qonsultants:
Conduct fraud risk analyses and design fraud prevention programmes;
Support fact-finding investigations when irregularities are suspected;
Train teams to recognise risks early.
Fraud Prevention & Risk Management
Effective fraud prevention starts with insight. Where are the vulnerabilities in processes, behaviour or culture? How do you ensure employees know what is expected of them? And which signals must never become blind spots? We support organisations in developing strong, practical fraud risk policies that truly take root across the organisation.
We conduct risk assessments, design tailored frameworks and translate policy into everyday behaviour. We also help establish the right tone at the top: clarity about what is acceptable, what is not, and what happens when things go wrong.
Our support includes:
Conducting fraud risk assessments
Designing and implementing fraud risk management frameworks
Drafting or updating codes of conduct, whistleblowing procedures and anti-fraud policies
Workshops and awareness sessions for management and teams
Integration with existing risk & compliance processes
Fact-Finding & Forensic Support
When signs of potential fraud or integrity breaches emerge, acting quickly and carefully is essential. Internal tensions, uncertainty or external pressure can easily cloud the facts. We support organisations in structuring and guiding internal fact-finding investigations.
As an advisory and facilitating partner, we structure the process, design the investigative approach, gather relevant information, document findings and advise on next steps and communication with internal and external stakeholders.
Our support includes:
Intake and initial assessment of signals (fraud, conflicts of interest, integrity breaches)
Conducting (forensic) fact-finding investigations: interviews, file analysis, transaction reconstruction
Support in documentation and drafting investigation reports
Collaboration with external parties such as legal counsel, auditors or forensic IT specialists
Support for Audit Teams
Fraud and integrity are becoming increasingly central themes in the audit profession. Stricter regulations and rising stakeholder expectations make audit preparation more challenging — both for internal and external audits. Our Qonsultants provide hands-on fraud-related support for audit teams: we challenge and discuss risks, help document professional judgments and, when desired, participate in conversations with executives about integrity and organisational culture.
We support audit teams with:
Helpdesk support for fraud-related questions.
Tools, templates and sample materials (risk assessments, work programmes, documentation).
Updates on current fraud regulations and supervisory developments.
Review of fraud work programmes and audit file documentation.
Participation in team meetings during the planning phase.
Involvement in client conversations with management or supervisory boards on fraud and integrity.
Questions? We’re happy to help — and always with a big smile!
