Independent forensic investigation of suspected fraud, financial irregularities, and misappropriation — providing legally defensible evidence for management action, litigation, and regulatory reporting.
Forensic audit is a specialised investigation that combines accounting expertise with investigative techniques to uncover fraud, financial irregularities, and misappropriation. Unlike a statutory audit (which provides assurance on financial statements), a forensic audit is conducted when there is a specific suspicion or allegation of wrongdoing.
AccentTax Consulting's forensic team investigates a wide range of matters: employee fraud and embezzlement, vendor fraud and kickbacks, financial statement manipulation, asset misappropriation, and related party irregularities. We provide a detailed forensic report with findings, evidence, and recommendations — suitable for use in disciplinary proceedings, litigation, and regulatory reporting.
