We understand as Corporate Irregularities incidents or actions that may affect the patrimony of a company, its image or brand, the prestige and morale of its employees, as well as third parties involved.

They can put people's lives at risk, or have a negative impact on the environment.

They usually appear before the breach of:

• Operational processes
• Cultural guidelines
• Ethics code
• Behavior Code
• Professional ethics
• Accounting standards
• National laws and regulations
• Corporate rules and policies that may constitute fraud

Corporate Fraud is fraud committed by one or more members of an organization in the course of their occupations, whose main means are: the authority, powers and permissions conferred by the organization to which they belong.

It is based on information search and subsequent analysis, normally being a reactive process for the clarification of a business event or irregularity. It is done by obtaining evidence as the first step in this cycle or process, which are surveyed in the field of study.

The phase related to obtaining evidence refers to the following components: the sources of information, documentary evidence of possible business irregularities, the protection of sensitive information and electronic evidence.

The investigation ends with an analysis and subsequent delivery of reports, usually confidential, to qualified users.
