Losing sleep over the possibility of fraud in your company? Need to improve fraud control in your firm?

Forensic accounting combines accounting know-how with forensic techniques to identify and assist in preventing financial and other irregularities.


"In our organization, there are no embezzlements." Experience shows that there is no organization that is immune from fraud and financial irregularities, both internally and externally. Research in the western world shows that the average company loses about 3% of its sales turnover as a result of irregularities and fraud.

Can you afford to let something like this go unnoticed in your firm?

True, fraud cannot be totally eradicated. However, it can be minimized through controlling the exposure to risk, closing the loopholes, and improving the control framework before the damage is done.

To accomplish this, you need a forensic accounting expert who can provide you with the advice necessary to prevent fraud and who can investigate any suspicions that may arise.

"But I already have an accountant."

The name of the game in the modern world is "expertise". Fraud auditing is a specialty niche in the accounting profession which evolved in order to provide solutions to problems involving morality and ethics. This specialty combines accounting knowledge with investigative experience in areas such as: interrogation, data collection, quantification of damages, and preparing the groundwork for expert opinions to be used in litigation.
