Forensic Audit Services in Dubai.
A forensic audit goes beyond a standard financial audit. While regular audits check for compliance and accuracy, a forensic audit is designed to uncover fraud, financial crimes, and irregularities. It also provides evidence that can be used in court or during regulatory investigations.
A forensic audit is a detailed examination of financial records, business operations, and internal controls to detect misconduct, fraud, or misuse of company assets.
These audits are often used to:
- Investigate suspected fraud or embezzlement
- Support legal disputes or litigation
- Respond to inquiries from regulators or government bodies
- Provide evidence in cases of shareholder or partnership conflicts
At Bestax, our forensic auditors work closely with lawyers, regulators, and law enforcement to ensure findings are accurate, reliable, and legally admissible. This makes the forensic audit not only a financial review but also a powerful tool for protecting your business reputation and safeguarding assets.

Types of Fraud Investigated in Forensic Audits
At Bestax, our forensic audit services in Dubai cover a comprehensive range of fraudulent activities, including:
01
Financial Statement Fraud
This occurs when a company intentionally misrepresents its financial health. Examples include overstating revenues, understating liabilities, or manipulating profit margins. Such fraud can mislead investors, lenders, and regulators, making it critical to detect early.
02
Asset Misappropriation
Asset misappropriation involves the theft or misuse of company assets, including cash, inventory, equipment, or intellectual property. Common examples are embezzlement, unauthorized withdrawals, or misuse of company resources for personal gain.
03
Corruption and Bribery
Corruption, including bribery and kickbacks, undermines business integrity and exposes companies to severe legal penalties in the UAE. Forensic audits help detect unethical transactions, collusion with vendors, or conflicts of interest.
04
Payroll Fraud
Payroll fraud occurs when employees manipulate payroll systems for personal gain, such as adding ghost employees, inflating salaries, or misreporting hours worked. Our audits assess payroll records and verify employee claims to ensure accuracy and prevent revenue leakage.
05
Procurement and Vendor Fraud
Procurement fraud involves collusion between employees and suppliers, overbilling, delivery of substandard goods, or false invoicing. Bestax forensic auditors examine contracts, invoices, and supplier relationships to uncover irregularities and improve vendor management.
06
Cyber Fraud and Data Manipulation
In the digital age, financial data is increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats, including unauthorized access, hacking, or manipulation of financial systems.

Steps to Conduct a Forensic Audit in the UAE
At Bestax, we follow a clear and careful process to find financial problems, prevent fraud, and protect your business.
First, we learn about the problem. Whether it’s suspected fraud, stolen assets, or a regulatory issue, we define the scope and what needs to be investigated.
Next, we create a plan. We decide which areas to focus on, which documents to check, and the best way to investigate the issue.
We gather all important records, contracts, and digital files. Using advanced tools, we look for mistakes, unusual transactions, or signs of fraud.
We speak privately with key staff and collect evidence carefully, making sure everything is accurate and meets legal standards.
After reviewing everything, we create a clear report. It explains what we found, includes evidence, and suggests steps to fix problems and prevent future risks.
Finally, we provide support for any legal or regulatory action. This includes expert advice, documents ready for court, and guidance on solving disputes.
