VMS has provided investigative support and testimony for attorneys to assist their clients in both plaintiff and defense litigation in which we have located crucial information, assets, supported damages, and collected vital information that led to successful verdicts for our clients. We assist attorneys in trial preparation and expert witness testimony in various security and investigative disciplines.
We provide assistance to corporate and business clients with security and risk evaluations, security planning and design, workplace violence evaluations, and employment screening procedures.
VMS operates across the globe conducting physical and informational security surveys, audits, and assessments. VMS also undertakes discreet investigations, asset tracing, and will provide close protection and support services to key personnel in high risk environments.
At VMS, we have on-staff Certified Fraud Examiners and experienced fraud investigators. In addition, expertise from outside fraud specialists and accountants is available to us on a contractual basis in most parts of the world. |
Fraud Consulting Services
Our fraud consulting activities have generally come into play when specific problems have been suspected by clients and often the consulting provided is in conjunction with fraud investigations.
Anti-Fraud Specialties
Gray market fraud - both domestic cross-territory shipping and international gray market fraud - is a specialty where our experience is unmatched. In addition, we are highly experienced in areas of fraud involving ethics and kickbacks, product counterfeiting, and more routine fraud matters such as Ponzi scams, pyramid schemes, and those involving invoicing, check scams, contract and procurement, phantom employees, and the like.
Types of Service Available
While forensic audit and fraud examination services are available from VMS, often our services in the fraud area are most cost-effective when we team up with competent proprietary internal auditors. The goal, of course, is to document existing fraud and discover existing exposure.
Return on Investment
As noted above, fraud consulting is often a part of our fraud investigation projects and in many of these cases, recoveries in the millions have been obtained for clients. A more significant return on investment, however, is usually realized when we show clients how to employ controls to permanently eliminate existing fraud operations or minimize the potential exposure to future fraud. |
