Tailored Strategies for Fraud detection

We provide efficient results with our findings that target specific challenges for each client.

Our Values

We believe in unfolding of client’s current situation and presenting them their reality in an honest, concise manner.

Our Investigative Process

At Con-Catchers, we follow a structured and discreet approach to uncovering financial fraud and control failures within organizations. Our process is designed to ensure credibility, transparency, and actionable outcomes—especially for nonprofits and small businesses where governance and trust are critical.

1. Engagement Initiated by the Board

Our work begins upon receipt of a formal statement of concern from a board member or fiduciary with the authority to initiate an independent financial investigation. This ensures that our work has both the mandate and oversight needed to proceed effectively.

2. Preliminary Forensic Review

We conduct a short-form forensic assessment of the organization’s:

  • Financial accounting systems
  • General ledger and subledgers
  • Bank and cash accounts
  • Reporting structure and internal controls
  • Management practices related to financial oversight

This targeted review allows us to rapidly identify red flags and assess the likelihood of fraudulent or negligent activity.

3. Targeted Management Inquiry

When preliminary findings indicate signs of irregularities or misconduct, we engage management with focused, evidence-based interviews. These conversations are designed to clarify intent, uncover possible connections to specific financial discrepancies, and test the integrity of financial reporting explanations.

4. Control Environment Assessment

In cases where direct fraud is not confirmed but control weaknesses, negligence, or management sloppiness have created an environment conducive to misconduct, we provide a full diagnostic. Our final report will include:

  • Documented concerns and findings
  • A professional opinion on the presence or risk of fraud
  • A clear, prioritized roadmap for remediation, including internal control improvements, policy revisions, and oversight enhancements

Our goal is not only to detect fraud but also to strengthen your organization’s financial integrity and operational resilience.

Our customers’ success is our #1 priority

We find “indicators” (more than probable cause, but less than evidence) that you will need to end the stealing.
