Clarity in Complexity. Trusted Insight.

Fraud Prevention. Independent Investigations. Strategic Risk Leadership.

Organizations need practical ways to prevent and detect fraud, address sensitive concerns, and strengthen risk and compliance programs—without always adding full-time resources.

Led by Kimberly Burke, CFE, a Michigan-licensed Professional Investigator with more than 30 years of experience at Mercedes-Benz, Deloitte, PwC, and Navigant Consulting (now Guidehouse), Stillwater Risk Management provides independent investigations, fraud prevention and detection training, fractional risk and compliance leadership, and strategic advisory services.

Through employee education, confidential reporting solutions, and independent investigations, Stillwater helps organizations recognize warning signs, encourage employees to speak up about potential misconduct, and address concerns with discretion and objectivity.

Kimberly supports leadership teams, boards, and legal counsel in uncovering facts, strengthening controls, and making informed decisions.
