Resolve conflicting company information before acting
Unexpected bank details or a surprising management claim call for independent verification.
Separate document checks from authorisation
Business identity fraud may involve a counterfeit website, altered invoice, emailed bank-detail change or apparently inconsistent corporate record. Public documents offer useful reference points, but they should never automatically validate a request received through an untrusted channel. The goal is to compare independent sources before making financial or administrative commitments.
A register describes published company information, an invoice makes a commercial claim and an email asks someone to act. These records serve different purposes. A robust process records differences, retrieves trusted contact details and obtains confirmation through an established channel. A discrepancy should be investigated, not instantly converted into an allegation.
Practical checkpoints
- Confirm bank-detail changes through a trusted channel.
- Read corporate documents in their administrative context.
- Retain a clear record of communications and decisions.
- Require authorised second-person approval for exceptions.

Prevention requires clear procedures for beneficiary changes, new suppliers and exceptional payment requests. Documentary findings can support awareness training for finance and sales teams. Where a serious incident is suspected, the business should preserve messages and promptly contact its bank, relevant authorities or advisers as appropriate. Pacta’s work concerns prevention, IT and technical documentation, not named-person private investigation.
This guide concerns technical analysis, prevention and documentation. Third-party systems require an authorised scope; Pacta does not offer named-person private investigations.
