About this publication
The Anti-Financial Crime Compendium is a collaborative collection of volumes across the full financial crime landscape. The volumes are designed to be conversational and provide an inter-connected network of insights that only seasoned professionals would know. The contributing authors are all experts within their respective domains and share their end-to-end practical tips, tools and tricks.
In this volume we discuss the Process on Reporting in Fraud Investigations:
If interviewing is the most important investigative skill, then sound reporting is the second most important skill. This as the forensic report is, for the greater part, the only product that most eligible stakeholders will see concerning the investigation.
This means that it will be of little significance if you have performed a textbook investigation, but you are unable to communicate the required messages to the different stakeholders.
Reporting can be carried out in a number of written and oral manners and to a number of different stakeholders, including board-level reporting, management reporting and authority-level affidavits. This volume, therefore, takes a wider view of reporting and provides practical insights into the conduct all elements of communication throughout an investigation and to a wide array of stakeholders.
