Forensic Audit
A forensic audit is a specialized form of financial and economic investigation aimed at uncovering financial violations and fraudulent schemes within a company or on the part of its counterparties. Unlike a standard audit, a forensic audit not only identifies errors but also determines the mechanisms behind violations, their causes, and the specific individuals responsible, creating an evidentiary base that can later be used in court, arbitration, and corporate disputes. We provide professional forensic audit services for companies of all sizes — from private businesses to international groups — helping restore financial control and protect assets.
When a Forensic Audit Is Needed
A forensic audit becomes necessary when standard control tools fail to identify the sources of financial losses or the responsible parties. Clients most often turn to us when:
- suspicious transactions or unjustified expense growth are detected;
- there are signs of embezzlement, kickbacks, or conflicts of interest;
- the company has suffered losses due to actions by top management or financial departments;
- legal or arbitration disputes with partners or former employees are anticipated;
- a comprehensive business review is required before a transaction, investment, or merger;
- the owner has lost control over financial flows.
In all these situations, a forensic audit provides an objective picture of what is happening, minimizes financial and reputational risks, and helps build an effective business protection strategy.
What a Forensic Audit Accomplishes
A forensic audit is a practical tool for asset protection and financial risk management. During the investigation, we:
- determine where and how the company is losing money;
- uncover fraud, embezzlement, and abuse;
- trace actual financial flows and hidden transactions;
- identify conflicts of interest and undisclosed relationships within the company and with counterparties;
- assess the legality and economic justification of transactions;
- gather evidence that can be used in court;
- develop measures to prevent repeated violations.
The review is conducted comprehensively. We analyze financial and management documentation, examine information from open sources, check for ongoing litigation and claims, evaluate credit history, and study the structure of financial flows. This approach makes it possible to obtain an objective understanding of the company’s true financial condition, identify risks, and make well-grounded managerial or legal decisions.
