Forensic accounting is the examination and evaluation of financial documents to obtain evidence that can be used in legal proceedings. This may include the detection and prevention of fraud, terrorist financing, and money laundering. This audit includes the examination of accounts to detect financial irregularities and to follow the movement of funds and assets within organizations.
What is a forensic audit?
A forensic audit deals with the full scope of fraud and embezzlement in a given area to give you the better independent assurance that meets your specific objectives. A forensic report provides evidence that can be presented in proceedings before the competent court.
Why is a forensic audit carried out?
The following are the reasons why a forensic audit is necessary.
- Suspicion of fraud, misrepresentation, or robbery.
- Significant unusual financial changes.
- Fictitious accounts are observed in the accounting records.
- Fictitious employees, customers, suppliers, or other interested parties are discovered.
- There is no proper substantiation of an unexpected financial pattern.
- Cases of fabricated or falsified financial statements were identified.
- The staff has prepared accounting documents for budget approval, performance appraisal, proposal evaluation, financing, tax filing, etc.
- False information provided by staff on matters such as false invoicing, theft of stock/cash/assets, and payments to non-existent suppliers or employees.
- Misappropriation of company assets using the authority granted to employees.
- False invoicing
In all such cases, a forensic audit is carried out to identify the originator of the activity. Preventing such activities promotes business growth and restores a controlled environment and good governance to the organization.
In summary
A forensic auditor can be relied upon to provide you with evidence to help identify instances of fraud and embezzlement within your organization that can be brought to court.
