Firm releases new measures to prevent fraud crime

Published on 26 Jun 2009 under category: legal

A company has responded to the increasing risk of impersonation of the deceased fraud crimes by increasing the amount of information it has digitised.

Tracesmart Corporate is undertaking its comprehensive death index digitisation project in order to prevent this form of white collar crime from being committed.

Mike Trezise, managing director of the firm, claims that that the increase in available information can reduce the risk of this type of fraud crime taking place.

He states: "Following on from the integration of death registration information into our anti-fraud services last year, we are continuing to enhance our mortality database."

Mr Trezise suggests that this allows businesses to reduce the need for litigation over incidents of these types.

In other fraud crime news, heddgefundsreview.com recently reported that UK hedge fund managers could face claims they have committed white collar crimes if the tendency towards civil litigation over losses spreads from the US, where cases of this type are far more common.
