Browne Jacobson welcomes new addition to expanding fraud team
8 March 2010
Browne Jacobson has expanded its fraud team further with the
appointment of Andy Fu.
Fu joins the team, headed up by Scott Bowers, from Keoghs where
he was responsible for re-designing and developing the firm’s data
matching solution to identify potentially fraudulent activity.
Prior to that Fu was a senior developer at Hill Dickinson where
he worked on the firm’s front end web based counter fraud tool.
Fu’s appointment follows on from the arrival earlier this year
of Max Jarlsson, a business analyst who had worked on the globally
successful Hunter and Hunter II fraud detection tool.
The two appointments are in response to increasing demand for
its fraud-related legal services as Scott Bowers, Head of the
Counter Fraud Team at Browne Jacobson, explains
“The recent report from CIFAS shows worrying high levels of
fraud so it is not surprising that many of our clients are looking
to us to assist them in their fight against the fraudsters.
“Andy’s appointment is a major coup for us. His arrival will
greatly enhance our counter fraud offering as we continue to
develop our own innovative product to identify incidences of
fraud.
“He has a proven track record in the fraud arena, having
implemented specialist anti-fraud systems and databases at Keoghs
and Hill Dickinson and as a result helping to recover significant
sums against fraudsters on behalf of major public and private
sector organisations.
“With Max's knowledge of the financial sector's counter fraud
databases and now with Andy completing the picture with his
knowledge of the insurance sector’s anti-fraud requirements we have
a very strong technical team in place that is able to offer counter
fraud solutions covering all sectors.”
