A forensic audit is a specialised investigation that goes well beyond a routine audit. It examines financial records, transactions and digital evidence to detect and prove fraud, asset misappropriation, bribery or manipulation of accounts. The findings are documented to a standard that can support internal action, regulatory proceedings or litigation.
Businesses commission a forensic audit when they suspect employee or vendor fraud, find unexplained losses or cash leakages, receive whistle-blower complaints, are preparing for or defending litigation, or need to satisfy lenders, investors or regulators after a red flag. It is also used in partner and shareholder disputes, and during acquisitions where fraud is suspected.
Our forensic team scopes the suspected issue, secures and examines books, bank records, invoices and digital data, performs fund-flow and transaction analysis, interviews relevant personnel, and quantifies the loss — maintaining a clear chain of evidence throughout.
You receive a detailed forensic report setting out the findings, the people and transactions involved, the quantified impact and recommended remedial and recovery steps — prepared to withstand scrutiny by boards, regulators and courts. We also recommend the controls needed to prevent a recurrence.
