Consultancy, Audit and Review
We provide specialist consultancy to individuals and organisations requiring experienced investigative support, peer review, case advice or practical guidance.
Our team has extensive experience in complex and international economic crime investigations, including asset recovery and the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA). We advise on both criminal and civil options to support asset recovery and minimise financial loss.
We also have extensive experience training investigators in bribery and corruption, including adequate procedures and failure-to-prevent measures. Having trained the majority of the UK’s new Domestic Corruption Unit (DCU), we understand the practical requirements organisations face.
Our consultancy is charged at a transparent day rate, billed in 30-minute increments rather than six-minute intervals. Short calls, messages and emails under 30 minutes are not charged separately unless part of a larger piece of work. Professional expertise. Fair and transparent pricing. No unnecessary billing.

Our team has extensive experience managing complex international economic crime investigations, including asset recovery and the application of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA). We also provide specialist training on bribery and corruption, including adequate procedures and failure-to-prevent measures. Effective policies and procedures are more than a compliance exercise. They must be proportionate to risk, properly implemented, understood across the organisation, and regularly reviewed as risks and regulatory requirements evolve. FISCAL provides practical expertise to help organisations identify vulnerabilities, strengthen controls, and respond effectively to emerging economic crime risks.
This audit reviews your organisation’s fraud prevention framework, testing whether existing controls are practical, proportionate, and effective in the face of real-world fraud risk — not just compliant on paper. It examines how fraud risks are identified, how controls are designed and applied, and whether current arrangements would stand up to scrutiny if tested. The audit can be aligned to the failure to prevent fraud offence under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA), including the reasonable procedures defence, as well as broader good practice for applicable organisations. Findings are presented with clear, practical recommendations for strengthening the framework, closing control gaps, and evidencing a genuine culture of fraud prevention.
Under section 7 of the Bribery Act 2010, a relevant commercial organisation can be prosecuted if a person associated with it bribes another person to obtain or retain business or an advantage for the organisation. The organisation’s defence is to show that it had adequate procedures in place to prevent bribery. A relevant commercial organisation is one that is incorporated or formed in the UK, or that carries on business, or part of a business, in the UK. This review assesses the organisation’s bribery risks, policies, controls, and staff awareness to help strengthen your prevention framework. It supports organisations that want a clearer view of whether current arrangements are fit for purpose as a defence to bribery.
