We are searching for an experienced Proactive or Reactive Fraud Risk Senior Consultant

Make an Impact at RSM UK
At RSM, our consulting team brings together diverse advisory experts to deliver our six core solutions: business transformation, forensic, deal services, restructuring, finance function support, and risk and governance.

Our solutions are designed to address the unique needs, challenges, and opportunities our clients face as they strive to achieve their aspirations and organisational goals. Whether it's supporting global expansion, developing acquisition strategies, facilitating private equity investments, or collaborating with boards to manage risk and governance, our consulting experts work as one cohesive team. We prioritise simplicity, providing data-driven insights, value-added assurance, and high-quality execution to empower our clients in building sustainable, future-fit businesses.

It's an exciting time to join our consulting team, as we embark on ambitious growth plans that promise to create diverse career opportunities. We are committed to enhancing our six solutions, expanding and developing our team of expert consultants, embracing a digital-first approach, strengthening our global presence, and building strong client relationships.

Our established Forensic and Investigation Services team have a number of vacancies. Our focus is on getting the ideal addition to the team, so we can be flexible on geography. Our ideal candidate is someone that has a real interest in fraud prevention, either through investigating it, or assisting our clients to identify gaps in their controls and remedy these, or train their staff to recognise and prevent it, or a combination of all three.

RSM's Forensic and Investigation Services team provides a range of counter fraud services to public and private sector clients. Many of our clients are NHS bodies, who are required by the NHS Counter Fraud Authority (CFA) to report annually against CFA requirements. Our NHS clients contract us for anything from 15 to 150 days per year to provide a full proactive (preventative) service. In addition to this our staff are accredited to undertake criminal investigations where our NHS clients are the victim of fraud.

We are looking for staff in both proactive and reactive roles.

You will already have experience in delivering some of the tasks above and will be confident in speaking with our clients independently. You will be allocated specific clients for which you will be responsible; this will involve planning and overseeing all work conducted for them, accountability for its completion and quality, and liaising with their staff at all levels.

As an investigator in our reactive team, you will be experienced in undertaking investigations independently, you will be able to assess whether a referral justifies a full investigation, set your own lines of enquiry and undertake these autonomously. You will be able to take witness statements and conduct interviews of both witnesses and suspects. Ideally you will have previous experience in presenting criminal prosecutions in both Magistrates and the Crown Court as an OIC.

You will make an impact by:

• Undertaking Fraud and Bribery Risk Assessments - working with senior managers to understand the controls in place to mitigate fraud and bribery, testing the effectiveness of these, highlighting any missing/ineffective controls, and scoring the residual risk.
• Policy reviews - reviewing clients policies where fraud or bribery risks exist, and ensuring that suitable controls are listed to reduce the possibility of offences being committed, and allow disciplinary action to be taken if it is.
• Liaison with senior staff - reporting directly to the Director of Finance or Chief Financial Officer to keep them apprised of all fraud prevention work, current risk levels, and progress against our agreed plan. Producing and presenting annual workplans, progress reports and annual reports to the Audit Committee.
• Receiving referrals of fraud, bribery or other offences, identifying an estimated loss/gain, key lines of enquiry and proportionality to investigate.
• Submitting requests for information under the Data Protection Act for evidence.
• Liaising with witnesses to gather evidence/exhibits, taking witness statements.
• Undertaking interviews under caution.

What we are looking for:

Are you someone who thrives on variety, loves learning new things, and enjoys connecting with people? Are you passionate about sustainability impact, business, delivering quality and team focussed, if so, this role is perfect for you!

We value diverse experiences and perspectives. Here's what we're looking for in our ideal candidate:

• Be able to pass enhanced security vetting (NPPV + SC - Non-Police Personnel Vetting and Security Clearance).
• Be able to pass DBS clearance.
• Excellent verbal communicator, with an ability to articulate complex, sensitive and confidential information to staff, clients and other stakeholders.
• Excellent written communication skills, with an ability to construct high quality reports which may be presented to a varying degree of audiences.
• A strong ability to organise a varied workload, plan and manage own workloads and calendar, ensuring high quality client service is at the forefront of priorities.
• An ability to work unsupervised, use initiative and strive to exceed client's expectations.
