Respond 

Financial and reputational impacts of crises create huge risk to brand, people, relationships and the bottom line. We respond with speed and conviction to address these risks, preventing further damage.

Emerge stronger 

A crisis managed well can allow businesses to develop immunity. We work with our clients to not only recover from a current crisis, but also enhance their ability to learn and improve after unplanned events.

PwC's Global Economic Crime Survey 2024

Based on the opinions of 2,500 companies from 63 countries, the results of our 2024 survey indicate that business leaders are confident in their compliance programs. However, few place sufficient emphasis on identifying and managing risks related to financial/economic crimes and corruption.

The key takeaways:

  • 55% report that procurement fraud is a widespread concern, yet a minority are using available tools to identify or combat it
  • 77% of leaders are confident their compliance programmes can mitigate emerging risks of corruption, yet 42% either don’t have a third-party risk management programme or don’t do any form of risk scoring as part of it
  • 33% report that assessing the risk of forced labour in their supply chain is a priority for their company and they have either assessed the risk or plan to in the near term
  • 44% of Executives consider sanctions risk compliance a significant priority. Yet just 30% undertake a range of steps to test the strength of their sanctions compliance programme.
