OUR CASES
- The company manufactured consumer goods and sold them by mail order. As part of its process, customers were allowed to return goods within 4 weeks of purchase. Because of the size of the goods, the returns were processed by an outside company. This company categorized returns as follows: A) Repackaged and ready for resale, B) Minor repairs and discounted sales through specialty outlets (similar to Amazon Warehouse), and C) Write-offs. We were tasked with evaluating internal controls and found a lack of controls in categorizing returns into A, B, and C categories. Further investigation revealed collusion between the director and an outside company to categorize all items as C, regardless of condition, and share the profits from the sale of those items. The total loss over the years exceeded 10 million euros.
- This company's business model was to provide services to construction companies. They purchased machinery equipment and were often involved in sale and leaseback transactions, sometimes including cross-border transactions and affiliations. During our interaction with one of the lessor companies, we discovered that the same self-machinery equipment had been sold to as many as 10 different lessee companies. The profits from these transactions were used in part to hide the fictitious sales. Our client had two leasing agreements totaling €5 million. Although we were able to verify one of these machines, the second, although relatively new, had been sold for scrap and could not be presented for verification.
- Our client commissioned us to investigate the internal control system of its subsidiary in connection with a major fraud case at the parent company in Europe. We found that the internal control system was partially missing and ineffective in the areas where it existed. Despite our recommendation to take urgent action, the client did not follow through due to a change in management at the holding company. Two years later, when we investigated further, we discovered that the director, with the help of third parties, had purchased raw materials at inflated prices. The estimated damage for one year alone exceeded 600 thousand euros.
- During bankruptcy proceedings we investigated the circumstances leading to the insolvency of a construction company. Several suspicious transactions were uncovered, including the purchase of artwork by the directors from an African artist shortly before the company went bankrupt. Payments were made through a bank close to the border crossing point. Our investigation led to the conviction of all three directors, but the funds could not be recovered, even by the police and prosecutors.
- Our investigation revealed that the director used company funds to cover personal expenses, including electrical work at home, family travel expenses and the construction of a summer house. The total loss exceeded 350,000 euros.
- The influence of management on the control environment is significant. During a regular survey, we discovered that a director had entered into a romantic relationship with his personal assistant, using company funds to pay for expenses such as flowers, romantic dinners, a honeymoon style weekend and spare parts for the secretary's car. The breakthrough in this case was the discovery of the part numbers, as they did not match the company car's license plates, but matched the secretary's car. At that time, the total damages amounted to less than €5,000. Nevertheless, we recommended action, but the client did not follow our advice. A few years later, we discovered that shortly after this incident, a group of employees started sending fictitious invoices through the company. Over three years, the total loss exceeded €600,000.
- During our work, we encountered high costs for building internal roads, parking lots and maintenance. We discovered that the company was being billed for heavy bar slabs for internal roads that could support loads up to 5 tons. In addition, we found that the bathrooms had been remodeled for 5 consecutive years, with new tile laid each year. Our calculations showed a total damage estimated at 150,000 euros. An important point was that the company had not removed the surplus paving slabs, which allowed us to measure its quantity accurately. In addition, it became clear that instead of approaching bathroom renovations with integrity, the company had been creating fake invoices for five years, indicating a serious problem that required immediate action.
- Due to collusion between the director and the chief accountant, equipment worth approximately €1 million per year was sold without invoicing for cash transactions. The exact terms of the agreement between the chief accountant and the director remain unknown. To delay the discovery of this misconduct, they also committed financial statement fraud. Financial statements were forged that did not match the figures in the books of account, and these misrepresented statements were audited by a local accounting firm. This fraudulent practice continued in subsequent years, accompanied by a change of auditors. Our suspicions arose when we identified this pattern of successive changes of auditors over three years. The first signal was the significant charitable donations made by the chief accountant, exceeding her annual salary, and their publication in the local newspaper.
- The Group illegally transferred unregistered trademarks to offshore structures. These entities were controlled by other offshore companies, creating a complex network of interconnected ownership structures. During our investigation, it became apparent that fraudulent sales figures in excess of €35 million had been artificially inflated and included in financial statements for one particular country over many years. Several directors of local holding companies pleaded guilty and received suspended sentences, while others went unpunished.
- Following our engagement, we discovered that the company had spent over €10 million on software and source code over many years that they had never been able to use in their business activities. This software had been transferred under various names from subsidiary to subsidiary and had gone undetected by both local and group auditors until our intervention. Unfortunately, none of the funds expended could be recovered.
- Direct sales of B2C consumer goodsA company, being one of the first to enter the market in a particular segment in the country, created an association inviting other companies to join. However, given the newness of the segment, the legal expenses incurred by the association and borne by the company went unnoticed by a leading audit firm. During our engagement with the company, we identified discrepancies in the director's lifestyle compared to his salary. Subsequently, we uncovered evidence of collusion between the director and the association's legal advisor. Following our investigation, the director resigned and reimbursed approximately €250,000 in damages through a payment system.
