EFECC Consulting

Trusted advisory and verification solutions that strengthen integrity, reduce fraud, and protect organizations across the Caribbean.

Contact Us

Over the past three years, the Caribbean has experienced a marked increase in fraud attempts across government social protection programs, financial services, retail, and corporate operations. Traditional verification methods, visual inspection of cheques, phone calls to issuers, manual approval workflows are no longer sufficient, cost effective or fool-proof. This is because of two converging forces:

The Rise of AI-Generated Fraud

Artificial intelligence tools can now produce near-perfect replicas of:

  • Cheques (including MICR lines, signatures, and watermarks)
  • Professional certificates and academic credentials
  • Valuation reports and compliance letters
  • Government identification and pension documents

The Detection Gap

Most organizations discover fraud only after:

  • Goods have been released
  • Inventory has been collected
  • Contractors have been mobilized
  • Services have been completed
  • Funds have been committed

Source: ACFE — 5% revenue loss to fraud. FIUTT — 59% of Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) in T&T are fraud (TT$1.25B).
