DIGITAL FORENSICS AND INVESTIGATION SERVICES

Forensic Investigations

Forensic accounting and auditing combines various skills during an investigation in order to prosecute the perpetrator successfully. These skills include auditing-, accounting-, legal- and investigations skills. During an investigation these skills are combined with knowledge and experience of the various fields. The forensic auditor will peruse relevant financial data of an entity (e.g. bank statements, ledgers) to identify the audit trail used by the suspect. Audit and investigation experience will be used to identify the audit traces left behind by fraudsters. Audit and legal experience will be used to extract the relevant information, including supporting documentation proving each fact. The forensic auditor will then write a factual report on the findings and compile the evidence files in such a manner that it is presentable to any court of law. Finally, if required, the forensic auditor will also present all findings in a court of law or at disciplinary hearings as an expert witness. Our team consists of experts in their various fields.
