Malpractice and Rogue Traders

The threats facing sport and business have never been greater, as the opportunities for malpractice and rogue trading grow.  Tempted by high monetary rewards, and facilitated by the internet, organised crime gangs are targeting all areas of business, and even sport, often operating without proper facilities and procedures, or offer sub-standard or unsafe products and services. No sector is safe, with allegations of corruption making media headlines almost on a weekly basis. 

Malpractice and rogue trading don’t just damage the image and reputation of a sector, they also threaten the reputations and livelihoods of the organisations involved, and public safety.   There is no doubt that a small number of corrupt businesses, individuals and traders cause substantial damage to both consumers and legitimate business alike.

For the government agencies charged with prosecuting the offenders, the task gets more difficult every day.  Regulatory requirements grow and change, and information sources and formats proliferate, making them harder to manage and use effectively.   And often the resources on hand to manage investigations are limited.

No matter the size of the investigation, you need fast and effective gathering and analysis of all potential intelligence on potential malpractice, and to be able to communicate your findings to relevant parties and make informed decisions quickly.  Real-time information is required to predict and prevent threats, protect individuals, prosecute perpetrators, and ultimately protect your reputation.

The Memex solution allows you to manage intelligence effectively, and use it to challenge and discipline those in your sector who are not following regulations.  It acts as a database and information gathering tool which automates the investigation of malpractice and illegal activity, optimising your investigation resources and allowing easy compliance with regulations.  In short, you’ll improve the quality of investigations, increase the prosecution of offenders and protect your members, the public and the reputation of the sector.
