Larceny, fraud, and embezzlement cost companies billions of dollars annually, with many of these crimes being committed by highly trusted employees or individuals in positions that enable them to exploit weaknesses in a company’s internal systems and controls.
Our research indicates that significant theft often occurs year after year due to a company’s failure to recognize critical warning signs or identify serious vulnerabilities within its internal processes and procedures.
Identifying and addressing business practices and procedures that create opportunities for theft requires a deep understanding of how fraud and theft can manifest within your organization. Many companies lack the in-house expertise to effectively analyze and evaluate the complex operational and accounting procedures that “hardcore” or “white-collar” thieves frequently exploit to perpetrate significant theft.
Hayes International possesses the specialized expertise and experience required to conduct high-level theft vulnerability assessments across various industries and job functions. Our comprehensive reviews have helped companies save millions of dollars that would otherwise have been lost to internal theft, external fraud, or vendor/contractor-related crimes.
This service focuses on identifying vulnerable systems and procedures that allow individuals—whether employees, vendors, or contractors—to commit significant theft or fraud, often due to weaknesses in internal controls or a failure to recognize critical warning signals.
