2. FRAUD INVESTIGATIONS:
Fraud occurs where:
- There is misrepresentation of a material fact
- The perpetrators knew the factual misrepresentation was false
- The misrepresentation was made with the intent that it be relied upon by someone else
- The victim did rely on it and, as a result, incurred loss or losses
Fraud costs the victim, the organization and the economy many millions and sometimes billions of naira a year. If you are the victim of fraud, you may lose significant amounts of money, and, in some cases, your good name. It seems that fraud is everywhere. Of more importance, there are no small frauds; each instance is extremely costly. Stopping fraud is in everyone’s best interests,.
raud investigations can be complicated and difficult for a few reasons. First, criminals take great care to cover their tracks and escape prosecution.

PROFESSIONAL FEES
The fee for the assignment is based on the actual time spent valued at our charge-out rates which are based on the scale rates of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria. In any event, we have a system of cost budgeting as a basis for negotiating in advance the probable level of fees that we charge for the assignment.
If the circumstances on which the fees are negotiated change in the course of an assignment, it is our policy to immediately alert the client and obtain its agreement to pay additional fees from the consequential additional work.
The actual amount billed for an assignment will obviously be determined by the quality of the books and records of accounts, the adequacy of the system of internal controls, the efficiency with which the client's staff attend to any queries raised by our team on the assignment and the speed with which information and documents are produced.
The charge excludes expenses of the audit or engagement such as travelling, postage and stationery, which are expected to be fully reimbursed.
The fee for a tax advisory service, which is negotiable, is based on the time spent on the client's tax matters.
Our fees for consultancy work is negotiated on the basis of a proposal that is submitted to the client after we would have carried out a brief preliminary survey.
COMPLETION PERIOD
It is not practicable to estimate how long an audit or other assignments will take without adequate knowledge of the requirement of the client, the quality and completeness of records and the ease with which documents and information will be supplied. The extent of the co-operation that is received both from the management and staff of the organisation is also a significant factor. A realistic appraisal of the completion period can be made after a survey has been conducted. However, provided we receive full co-operation from the client no target completion date is regarded unrealistic by us in view of the fact that we have adequate personnel at all times.
REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES
Disbursements directly related to an assignment are expected to be borne by the client even when we have to make the initial payment.
