Independent fraud risk advisory
We help organisations identify where fraud exposure sits, determine whether existing controls actually cover it, and decide what to fix first.
Three questions leadership should be able to answer
The problem
Most organisations already have fraud-relevant controls spread across finance, operations, digital channels, risk and their third parties. Each one was designed for a local purpose, owned by a different team and reported in a different place.
What is usually missing is the assembled view. Without it, leadership can say that controls exist but cannot say whether the organisation is ready.
Finance
Payment approvals, reconciliations
Operations
Process checks, exception handling
Digital channels
Onboarding, authentication
Risk and compliance
Policies, audit findings
Third parties
Vendor onboarding, contract terms
One management view
Fraud risk, assembled across the organisation
How organisations work with MK
Assess, Build, Enable and Monitor organise the portfolio. They are not the only things MK does, and they are not a sequence an organisation must complete.
Where are we exposed, and how would we know?
We establish where fraud exposure genuinely sits, how the current control environment performs against it and where the organisation’s view of itself diverges from operating reality.
About assessWhat should the fraud programme and its accountabilities look like?
We design the fraud strategy, operating model, ownership, controls and governance needed to prevent, detect and respond to fraud coherently across the organisation.
About buildHow do operational decision-makers recognise and act on fraud risk?
We equip frontline staff, managers and executives with the judgement, awareness and practical guidance required to recognise fraud and act correctly at the point where decisions are made.
About enableWhat tells us when our exposure has changed?
We help organisations keep fraud visible between incidents by strengthening detection, management information and the interpretation of changing external fraud threats.
About monitorNamed service portfolio
Fraud Readiness is a flagship route into MK, not the boundary of the advisory practice.
Flagship assessment
Fraud Readiness is MK's structured way of making organisational fraud exposure visible, measurable and discussable at management level. It starts with a free assessment, and the organisation decides how far to take it.

Why MK
Engagements are led by a fraud risk practitioner whose operational experience spans fraud risk, governance, process design and solution strategy. The Fraud Readiness Assessment is built from the same operational fraud experience and practitioner insight.
The Fraud Readiness Assessment is live and free to complete, so leadership can see how MK frames fraud readiness before deciding whether to engage further.
How the assessment worksMK publishes analysis of the fraud patterns affecting South African organisations, from procurement and tax refund fraud to the criminal services behind modern scams.
