The Importance of Fraud Management

Paul Lancour — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:32:12 +0000

Join BearingPoint Business Advisor Delia Klause to explore the benefits of fraud management and why discovering fraudulent activity within your organization is so critical. Fraud is an ever-increasing problem in the financial services field, and the growth of fraudulent behavior just shows how difficult it sometimes is to prevent this type of activity. With fraud management, especially in the insurance industry, you have the advantage of early detection.

Our fraud management solutions assist organizations with ways to uncover fraudulent claims, how to educate employees of the possible risks and best practices around fraud management in the workplace. Many companies are utilizing internal and external workshops to educate their employees, while others are outlining certain processes and procedures. There are also many electronic fraud detection tools that companies are beginning to use to deal with this type of unlawful behavior.

The role of fraud management has evolved greatly over the years. Twenty years ago, there were five fraud investigators in the market, now there are more than 150. Fraud management is mainly organized in a traditional versus non-traditional method. To identify which is more appropriate for your organization, our experts can identify the problem and offer an appropriate solution. With the rise in fraudulent behavior, expect fraud management to be a top priority in financial services over the next few years.

Join BearingPoint Senior Vice President Marcel Nickler as he explores the importance of IT governance. In today’s difficult economical environment, there is a lot of pressure to deliver more services and performance with less or limited resources. There is also a clear expectation towards IT, which is that the services offered and delivered upon must support the further development of the business in an increasingly international or even global environment.

The convergence of business and IT has offered the advantage of merging the respective strategies of each. This collaboration is a must when aiming to reach a competitive advantage through application IT. With increasing IT costs over the last year, there’s been significant pressure to deliver. By joining business and IT, the related business advantage is obvious; important decisions are jointly agreed upon by the board members, business management and the IT department.

In today’s market, organizations need to take proper steps to solve their IT governance problems. They must establish a focused management team and have control of projects, investments and IT services. This will create short term impact and better results for future success. Stringent IT Governance can improve the competitiveness and adaptability of a company. The establishment of IT Governance is a very challenging obstacle, but the end result is always a success.

Organizational Success: How Can Better Management of Information Help?

Rio Pesino — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:04:41 +0000

Join BearingPoint Senior Business Advisor Jaime Garza to discuss the call for better management of information to support profitability measurement and pricing in today’s U.S. interest rate environment. Changing interest rates affect all of us when it comes to our personal savings accounts and other financial services. The interest rate movements have begun to have an impact in new ways - especially for mid-size and larger institutions.

The key step to enhancing information is to look at the situation across your entire company to evaluate where the problem lies. Once you’ve focused on the business requirement, you can easily see where the technology fits in. When a company has enhanced information and data, they have a better chance at success. The organization also must have the ability to react to market changes, and better yet, be proactive.

Since the mid 1990’s, BearingPoint has been involved in multiple corporate performance measurement initiatives aimed at providing better management of information. It approaches this task in various ways: Focusing on strategy and design, sometimes even building the end solution from the current situation, and being tasked with end-to-end solutions, BearingPoint typically has teams that are both functionally and technically rich, leading to a great partnership for success.
