Forensic
The focus of investigative or forensic accounting is the detection, prevention and investigation of commercial irregularity and fraud and support for its resolution, through litigation or alternative means. Whatever the size or complexity of the matter, we aim to uncover fraud and irregularity, identify perpetrators and modus operandi, limit losses, prevent recurrence and assist with recoveries.
Our team of forensic accountants are specially trained in investigative techniques to identify irregular transactions and relationships not ordinarily discovered in the course of an audit and our work is supported by specialized forensic technology.
Commercial & fraud investigations
We investigate actions to the detriment of shareholders, conflicts of interest of management and employees, theft of funds and assets, tunneling of assets and capital, procurement fraud and contractual misrepresentations. Supported by our in-house data mining tools to sift through large client databases and specialized forensic technology to image and interrogate computers and peripherals for electronic documents such as emails and deleted files.
Fraud detection
We use the latest forensic techniques and specialized information technology to identify suspicious trends and patterns in large quantities of data. This focuses subsequent investigation, fraud prevention programs and yields recommendations for clients' control environments.
