LATZ, MAUDLIN & KNOWLES, INC.   CPA's

Fraud Prevention and Detection

According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners 2004 Report to the Nation, nearly 6% of all business revenue will be lost to fraudulent activity this year.  This suggests that your business is at the greatest risk ever of becoming a victim.  We can examine your systems from a potential perpetrator's standpoint and provide you with a detailed analysis of any vulnerabilities.

Latz, Maudlin & Knowles has years of experience in both fraud detection and prevention, thanks to our three certified fraud examiners on staff.  This experience can provide our clients with the necessary tools to deal with risk management and structured controls to reduce the potential of exposure to fraud.  We can also provide training to staff to recognize key indicators that can be the early warning signs of fraud.

If you believe that your company or you personally may be a victim of fraud, our staff can examine your situation, prepare support for a case should you pursue litigation, and help you implement procedures to reduce the possibility of a repeat performance.
