Fraud Risk Management & Prevention Services

When fraud threatens your organization, experience matters.

Fraud doesn't discriminate; it affects organizations of every size, structure, and industry — and the cost is staggering. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) Report to the Nations, organizations lose an estimated 5% of their annual revenue to fraud. That number doesn’t include reputational damage, regulatory exposure, and operational disruptions that follow.

Organizations can no longer rely on a reactive approach. EisnerAmper’s fraud risk professionals deliver end-to-end services — from building the controls that minimize and mitigate fraud risk to leading the investigations that address fraud when it happens.

Our Approach

A Layered Strategy for Every Stage of Fraud Risk

There is no single solution that eliminates fraud. The most effective organizations take a proactive, risk-based approach; one that is tailored to their specific risk tolerance, resources, and objectives. EisnerAmper’s fraud services are organized around four interconnected disciplines that work together to protect your organization at every stage.

Prevention

Stop fraud before it starts

Detection & Monitoring

Identify Fraud Early and Limit Exposure

Investigation & Recovery

Respond, investigate, and recover

Prevention

Build the Foundation That Keeps Fraud Out

Effective fraud prevention starts before an incident occurs. Our teams help organizations assess their fraud risk landscape, strengthen internal controls, and establish policies and procedures that create a culture of accountability, in turn reducing the likelihood of fraud occurring.

Internal control analysis, assessment, and remediation
Controls gap analysis and segregation of duties review

Detection & Monitoring

The longer fraud goes undetected, the greater the potential damage to your organization. EisnerAmper’s fraud and forensic professionals leverage advanced data analysis and digital forensic capabilities to identify anomalies, uncover indicators of fraud, and provide the insight organizations need to act.

Anti-Fraud, Waste & Abuse (AFWA)

A Proactive Discipline for Organizations Managing Programs and Public Accountability

While EisnerAmper’s fraud risk management and forensic services apply across industries, government programs face a distinct set of challenges that require a specialized approach. When a new government agency or program is established, the time between funding authorization and disbursement is narrow, but the fraud risk is immediate. Without purpose-built anti-fraud, waste, and abuse controls embedded from the start, programs are exposed before they even begin.

EisnerAmper brings experience building AFWA programs alongside new government initiatives—establishing the policies, controls, and monitoring infrastructure needed to protect program integrity from launch. This proactive approach is what separates programs that withstand scrutiny from those that face it unprepared.

Unlike the broader fraud risk services we provide to organizations across industries, AFWA for government is specifically designed around the structure, oversight requirements, and accountability standards unique to public programs.

Our AFWA Solutions

Embedding AFWA controls and monitoring infrastructure at program launch
Fraud risk assessment and internal control analysis
Anti-fraud policy and procedure development, including conflict of interest policies
Data mining and analytics to identify indicators of fraud, waste, and abuse
Real-time monitoring, exception reporting, and audit trail implementation
Fraud hotline and whistleblower program design
Fraud awareness training and employee education
Fraud investigations and coordination with oversight authorities
Response to internal and external audit requests from federal, state, and legislative entities
