Forensic Accounting

Fraud is an ever-present and growing problem for business organizations. It can go undetected for years and is often committed by “trusted” employees. Fraud impacts nearly every organization regardless of size, and the costs can be substantial.

At [COMPANYNAME], our forensic accounting team is comprised of highly trained Certified Fraud Examiners (CFE’s) and accountants Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF’s). We believe the best way to deal with fraud is to prevent it. Our approach goes beyond looking at the numbers to analyze and interpret them and understand the story they tell. We assess and protect organizations from fraud through a rigorous step by step approach as follows:

  • Evaluate your organization’s overall fraud risk
  • Identify possible fraud schemes with an eye toward industry-specific criteria.
  • Rate any recognized schemes and analyze risk tolerance
  • Develop policies, procedures, and strategies to mitigate the fraud
  • Implement and test detection and prevention against future fraud
