Economic Crime

With the size of the criminal economy estimated to be measured in tens of billions of pounds, organised crime is a large and sophisticated business by any measure. Government and law enforcement agencies are striving to increase their levels of financial and technological sophistication in order to tackle organised criminals and seize their assets more effectively, using the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (PoCA) to fight crime through the profit that motivates it.

KPMG Forensic has the experience and capabilities to provide high quality, dynamic investigation and expert witness support to law enforcement agencies in investigative case work, in particular their work under PoCA.

Our UK team of forensic accountants, investigators, technology specialists and former law enforcement professionals possess a considerable range and depth of experience and knowledge. We have an established track record of working closely with law enforcement and regulatory agencies in this area, and so can link our work quickly into agencies’ operational strategies, increasing the use of available time.

The team is headed by Roger Aldridge, who as a Chief Police Officer led on PoCA for the Association of Chief Police Officers, and also worked as part of the Home Office team that set up the Serious Organised Crime Agency.

Our service is supported by high quality expert witnesses and corporate intelligence professionals as well as our Forensic Datalab, a secure data management and search facility which can manage relevant data collection (e.g, from Production Orders or documentation seized at target premises) and undertake fast, detailed analysis to identify evidential potential and focus operational resources.

We also recognise that law enforcement will need high quality yet cost effective support.  We will offer initial scoping of a potential case to give an open and honest appraisal of what can be achieved and at what cost.
