Doing business in Mexico is a balance of risks and rewards

According to the 2016 PwC Global Economic Crime Survey, 37% of companies operating in Mexico were subject to at least one economic crime over the last twenty-four months. If we include employee fraud, the figure is much higher.

Businesses are subject to unscrupulous partners, perfidious employees and abusive contractors. Overcharging, over-billing, kickbacks and failure to perform contracted work or services are just a sampling of the difficulties faced regularly by Mexico-based companies.

For many small and mid-sized operations, vulnerability to fraud, theft and other types of abuse can be compounded by lack of formal oversight.

Many new types of fraud are being perpetrated electronically. Hacking, slamming (fraudulent change of telephone service), phishing, identity theft and other forms of digital crime are among the most difficult to control.
