Fraud Case Management System
Our Fraud Case Management (FCM) tool is an on-premise or cloud-based solution that ensures that all types of fraud investigation follow a structured and disciplined approach, and that the conduct of investigations does not compromise the outcome. Fraud investigations often prove difficult and time-consuming, as well as deliver unacceptable outcomes due to process irregularities, loss of confidentiality, poor handling of evidence, ill-informed decisions, etc.

Suitable for investigating both insider-fraud (fraudulent activity within the workplace) and misdemeanours conducted by the criminal fraternity against a corporate or civil entity, the Blackthorn Fraud Case Management system provides a framework for ensuring that investigations follow a considered and optimised plan, evidence is carefully organised and maintained and there is a case chronology. It also ensures that any hypothesis can be tested or rebutted until reasonable conclusions are drawn. Additionally, channels for whistleblowing are provided so that staff and/or citizens suspicious of wrongdoing can make disclosures easily and in-confidence.
Complex investigations, at least the successful ones, apply a ‘case theory’ approach where an initial evaluation of the available facts leads to conjecture over the likely approach taken to achieve the fraud. An investigative plan follows, setting out the actions necessary to orchestrate the strategy and prove whether the conjecture was right. In the execution of the plan, proof is gathered of the steps taken to commit the offence, or the plan adjusted to take account of new information, understanding and revised conjecture. Workflow within the Blackthorn Fraud Case Management system helps orchestrate the proposed investigative plan, ensuing that actions mandated by the plan (repeatable patterns of activity) are properly coordinated and achieved in predefined sequence. It also ensures that there is a recognised ‘gate keeper’ at all critical decision points.
