Client issue
A multinational industrial products manufacturer faced growing ethics and compliance risks across 20 high-risk jurisdictions, posing a threat to its global integrity standards.
CRA approach
Andrew Bayer, Principal in CRA’s Forensic Services Practice, deployed and led a global engagement for a multinational industrial products company to reinforce ethics, integrity, and compliance standards in higher-risk markets.
Working with a cross-functional team of 10 forensic accountants, compliance experts, and data analysts, Andrew oversaw enterprise-wide risk assessments covering 50+ business units and geographies. Following this, the team conducted on-site ethics reviews and integrity assessments in North America, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia. The team engaged with leadership and assessed the tone at the top, cultural alignment, and control effectiveness.
Where specific allegations arose, Andrew oversaw targeted investigations, integrating structured interviews, forensic accounting analyses, and the analysis of electronic evidence to address potential breaches swiftly.
Client impact
Provided leadership with a risk-prioritized roadmap, enhanced global compliance controls, and promoted a sustainable integrity-driven culture of integrity, resilience, and ethical alignment across 20+ high-risk jurisdictions.
