The increasing use of technology brings with it significant risk of fraud, financial crime, data theft and cyber breaches. Deloitte’s Forensic Technology team has experts in extracting and interrogating data to investigate, detect and prevent fraud and abuse. Cutting edge technology such as Artificial Intelligence and Predictive Analytics are playing a vital role in this area by applying new approaches to help companies prepare and react to risks.
In response to a growing demand for these services, Deloitte recently appointed Nick Athanasi as Partner to lead the Forensic Technology practice in the Middle East. Nick transferred from Deloitte in the UK, bringing with him 23 years of experience in all aspects of forensic technology. In addition, Muzzi Ebrahim joins as a Director to lead the Data Analytics team. Muzzi comes from Deloitte South Africa where he developed the Regulatory Analytics and Financial Crime capabilities for the Africa firm.
Nick and Muzzi bring their global expertise to assist its clients in the Middle East with some of their most challenging issues around fraud and abuse, financial crime and regulatory enforcement.
Wayne Thomas, Managing Partner for Financial Advisory said, “We are excited to expand our Forensic Technology practice and strengthen our capabilities by welcoming Nick and Muzzi to the team.”
