What happens when a director commits fraud?

  • Reputational damage;
  • Criminal proceedings (if personal liability can be established);
  • Significant financial penalties;
  • A disqualification order; and
  • In severe cases, imprisonment.
How long will a director fraud investigation take?

Director fraud investigations are generally completed within one to three months, with duration depending on the complexity of the crime and whether or not legal proceedings are taking place.

IFW investigators can assist law enforcement officials in filing search warrants and/or criminal charges against the defendant, a process which will extend the length of time it takes to close the case.

How much does it cost to investigate director fraud?

The cost of an investigation into company director fraud rests in the complexity of the case, the losses incurred, and the country in which the offence was committed.

At IFW, our expert investigators will prepare a comprehensive proposal for your case, specifying the suggested budget to maximise the chances of a successful result.
