What Sets Us Apart

  • Investigative DNA. We design programs from the lessons of real cases — not a checklist.
  • Forensic rigor, board focus. Forensic accounting that informs governance and audit-level decisions.
  • Academic & practitioner credibility. Award-winning teaching and frequent international speaking engagements that translate into best-in-class training.
  • Standards-maker influence. Active contributors to ISO and SCC work—our frameworks map to ISO 37001/37002 and ISO/IEC 42001 principles.
  • AI + analytics, responsibly applied. We pair casework with data tooling and partner integrations (e.g., Tantalum Labs) to improve detection and sustainable monitoring.
  • Global reach, local delivery. Practical, contextualized implementation across three continents — from SMEs to boards.
  • Right-sized & outcomes-driven. Boutique timeliness and senior expertise, focused on measurable risk reduction and behavioural change.
