Preventative measures
Basic steps towards protection include the control and monitoring of access to equipment, documents and computers to prevent any unauthorised use. Other preventative measures, such as training staff in your security systems and your disciplinary policies and procedures, could lessen your chances of becoming a victim of fraud.
If your business is threatened by fraudulent activity from a client or member of staff, our dispute resolution team have extensive experience in managing such cases and can liaise with the police and other relevant authorities when required.
