Corporate Identity Fraud
Unfortunately ‘Corporate Hi-Jacking’ is on the increase in the UK and can result in organisations being totally destroyed.
In its simplest form Corporate Identity Fraud can be easily perpetrated by an individual filing Companies House Forms.
Such as:
- Form 287 - Change of Registered Office address
- Form 288a - Appointment of Director or Secretary
- Form 288b - Registration of Director or Secretary
- Form 288c- Change of details of Director or Secretary
Having achieved these changes at Companies House, the Fraudster can go on to obtains goods to a very high value or credit in the name of your organisation.
It is only after these events that you will become aware of the fraud when ultimately unexplainable invoicing appears. The amount invoiced can be staggering.
Without reliable, effective and considerable assistance provided by Tait Walker’s Forensic Services Team you could lose a great deal.
