Investigating corporate fraud and financial misconduct and analysis of how enforcement agencies build the cases.
At Caparo Special Services Group (CSSG), I lead fraud investigations, fraud risk intelligence, and enterprise risk strategy for corporate clients combining forensic investigation with a broader intelligence function. Also, I run Fraulex Intelligence, a research initiative, that decodes major enforcement cases into research material.
As a Certified Fraud Examiner and Lawyer, my work sits at the intersection of forensic investigation, legal analysis, and fraud intelligence. I investigate how financial misconduct is built and concealed inside organisation and how regulators and prosecutors reconstruct those events when they pursue enforcement action.
This includes my professional practice at CSSG, where I lead investigation and strategic risk intelligence work for corporate clients; and Fraulex Intelligence, a research initiative, which publishes decoded enforcement case analysis as self-study material.
CFE-led investigations into procurement fraud, financial statement fraud, asset misappropriation, and bribery and corruption. Every investigation is conducted to a standard that holds up under legal and regulatory scrutiny.
A legal background in white collar crime and economic offences, applied to the evidentiary and procedural dimensions of investigation including how findings are assessed under judicial and regulatory standards in India, the UK, and the US.
Independent study of major enforcement cases from the DOJ, SFO, SFIO, FCA, and ED — analysing how cases were built, what evidence proved decisive, and what practitioners can learn from those records. Published through Fraulex Intelligence.
Caparo Special Services Group (CSSG) is the governance, risk, and investigations division of UK based Caparo Group, one of India's leading industrial conglomerates. CSSG delivers end-to-end GRC services to corporate clients across sectors, combining forensic investigation capability with in-house legal expertise.
At CSSG, I lead fraud investigation, fraud risk intelligence, and enterprise risk strategy across the group's manufacturing operations and for external clients. The role extends beyond traditional risk management into an intelligence function synthesising fraud signals, regulatory exposure, and enforcement trends into strategic input for leadership decision-making. My remit spans the full cycle, from designing anti-fraud controls and conducting risk assessments before a problem emerges, to leading investigations and advising on regulatory exposure when one does.
Every engagement at CSSG is CFE-led, legally informed, and built to produce findings that are defensible under external scrutiny whether that scrutiny comes from a board, a regulator, or a court.
Fraulex Intelligence is an independent research initiative. It analyses how major corporate fraud cases were constructed and how the enforcement agencies that prosecuted them the DOJ, SFO, SFIO, FCA, and ED built their cases. That analysis is published as structured self-study material: sector guides, decoded case studies, investigation reference tools, and regulatory frameworks.
What patterns consistently appear before fraud matures into a regulatory enforcement matter drawn from the documented record of cases that have already been prosecuted.
How major enforcement cases were constructed by regulators and prosecutors what evidence they relied on, what failed first inside the organisation, and how the fraud was eventually exposed.
Structured guides and reference tools that allow a reader to work through the material independently comparing their own controls, documentation, and risk exposure against decoded enforcement patterns.
Sector-level fraud risk guides covering the full risk universe for each industry every fraud type identified from real enforcement cases, with control failure patterns and red flag indicators, written for self-assessment use.
Individual enforcement cases decoded into a structured eight-section write-up covering how the fraud was built, how it was concealed, what controls failed, the sequence of events before discovery, and how the enforcement agency constructed its case.
Reference material on what documented fraud prevention evidence looks like in practice what regulators and courts actually examine when assessing whether prevention measures were genuine, and how to ensure your own records reflect that standard.
Plain-language breakdowns of the UK Bribery Act, FCPA, Prevention of Corruption Act (India), PMLA, and related frameworks written as working reference material rather than legal advice, covering what each regime actually requires in practice.
Decision-point scenario exercises modelled on real enforcement cases placing the reader in the same choices that preceded prosecution, with each response traced against what actually happened. Built to illustrate a fraud pattern, not to assess a specific organisation.
All research material RiskMaps, intelligence briefs, evidence guides, regulatory references, and simulations can be accessed through fraulex.com.
Visit Fraulex IntelligenceThe research published through Fraulex draws exclusively on public enforcement records — case filings, deferred prosecution agreements, regulatory decisions, and court judgments. It examines how misconduct develops within institutional systems, why controls fail under real operational conditions, and how the same structural patterns recur across sectors and jurisdictions.
How financial misconduct is structured inside organisations the layering of transactions, the concealment mechanisms, and the gradual normalisation of irregular conduct that allows fraud to persist over time.
How regulatory agencies construct enforcement cases what evidence they treat as decisive, how they establish intent and knowledge, and what distinguishes cases that result in prosecution from those that do not.
Why internal controls fail under real operational pressure how fraud exploits approval chains, override authority, and the urgency created by performance targets and time constraints.
How courts and regulators distinguish organisations that implemented genuine fraud prevention from those that assembled documentation after the fact and what adequate procedures evidence actually requires to withstand scrutiny.
How enforcement behaviour and prosecutorial priorities are evolving across India, the UK, and the US — and what emerging patterns in regulatory action signal for compliance programme design globally.
