INVESTIGATION
Over 100 billion a year! This is the cost of fraud, encroachments and deviations for companies and US investors. In Brazil, these illegal practices grows every day.

Concrete results from originating from total immersion and minuscule investigation. Only in this way can one identify and neutralize the original and those responsible for financial frauds and leaks from strategic commercial information.

To achieve this, it is necessary to have ample technical and human resources, free transit between professionals dedicated to the fight against crime and daily updates on the latest and most damaging workings. Performance has access to all these essential tools.

Its specialty is to disarm schemes implanted to fraud, usurp and misappropriate funds.
Such as:

Corruption: by trusted employees who involve themselves in bribery kickbacks, illicit favors, manipulation of bids and budgets, conflicts of interest and breach of fiduciary obligations.

Misappropriation: of cash box, stock, assets or confidential information about business or product development.

Fraudulent declarations: both financial and non-financial. These include information about income, fictious income concealment of expenditure, false evaluation of assets or the non-communication of material facts linked to fraud.

Pyramid schemes: the oldest trick in the market, but which has been reinvented the whole time. Today, through the Internet and under the protection of the identity of offshore financial institutions, the pyramids have become one of the greatest evils to threaten global investors.

Cibernetic crimes: brought about from the Internet evolution, which have become increasingly damaging to companies, destroying careers and families. Odious practices made by common thieves or through sophisticated technicians in informatics, who spread out through companies files and subtract precious information in such a well built up way that already form a framework of the most dangerous and sinister criminal actions.

These schemes are rarely detected or resolved by internal or traditional independents audits. Even if detected, auditors rarely have the investigative experience for resolving the fraud; especially if the ability to pursue avenues are by the victim company. This, in synthesis, is not what auditors do, but what we at Performance carry out very effectively.
