I worked with David when we identified a potential gap in our programme to manage the risk of fraud and bribery and corruption in our business.

David and I sat down and discussed where there might be gaps to better understand what needed covering. David used this to design a programme for us to implement that better managed the risk overall, but importantly was simple for the team to understand. David distilled this into a simple one page summary that the team could follow that significantly reduced the risks to us. I was able to piggyback off the back of this process to implement clearer and better business controls.

Former FD of the International Division of a major Construction business.

David was instrumental in establishing a rigorous approach to corporate compliance across our Group.

He reviewed our corporate compliance programme and, having done so, implemented a number of changes to it, enabling its consistent application across the business.

David managed our whistleblowing helpline. He set up, in conjunction with the business, a robust programme to triage each case and ensured each was rigorously investigated. David himself led investigations of complex or sensitive cases.

David’s greatest strength is his pragmatic and collaborative approach and calm demeanour. He was well liked and respected by senior management.

I, and other colleagues, have worked with Scott on a number of contentious matters, both during his time with major national and international accountancy firms and since he set up on his own. There is no doubt that Scott’s time with the Police’s Specialist Fraud Unit has made him a talented and effective investigator – he certainly managed to get me valuable information that I know I would not have obtained on my own. He is also very reliable, understands the pressures of deadlines in relation to ongoing Court proceedings and will make sure he works to those. I’d highly recommend Scott as an addition to your team in any contentious matters.

Malcolm Gunnyeon, Partner, Commercial Dispute Resolutions, Dentons.

David and Scott have worked for me on a number of issues following disputes that arose between the interpretation of clients procurement processes, internal discussions and potential contractual disallowed costs. 

These issues could have led to allegations that could have been detrimental to the business brand, individual perceptions and ultimately loss of confidence in our robust processes by a major client.

David and Scott diligently investigated these issues through proactive collaboration with the client, suppliers and internal people where a significant volume of evidence, witness statements and clarifications led to a successful and satisfactory outcome that enhanced our reputation with the client and industry peers.”
