Auditors are watchdogs and not the
bloodhounds. Saying that every CA student learns during the
preparation of exams.
Investigations differ from financial
auditing. They go beyond the numbers. Specially trained forensic
accountants require investigators with the mindset to focus on the
exceptions, the odd trends, accounting irregularities and patterns
in data, not just on errors and omissions.
Typically, corporate investigations
involve a large number of documents–including electronic
evidence–that often contain the facts on which the successful
outcome of the case may rely. Our senior professionals are skilled
at organizing, managing and identifying documents to assist a
company in analyzing the relevant facts and evidence.
However, documents do not generally
answer all questions, so additional interviews with employees and
others with specific knowledge of the transactions may be required.
Our team of fraud investigators includes former law enforcement and
prosecutorial personnel who have strong interview skills and are
extremely adept at exposing fraud schemes and helping to expedite
recoveries.
In addition, understanding the client’s
business and the relevant issues enables our people to assess the
issues in light of the business and corporate environment in which a
company is operating, its financial condition and the results of its
operations. |
