Frequently Asked Questions

What is forensic accounting?

Forensic accounting involves examining financial records to identify fraud, embezzlement, or mismanagement. Forensic accountants produce detailed reports and can provide expert testimony in legal disputes, regulatory investigations, bankruptcy proceedings, and corporate compliance reviews.

What do AML (anti-money laundering) services include?

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) services focus on preventing and investigating money laundering and suspicious financial activity. This includes everything from transaction monitoring, customer due diligence (KYC) and suspicious activity reporting to compliance policy review, employee training, and conducting investigations into potential fraud or regulatory violations.

How can forensic accounting help in bankruptcy cases?

In bankruptcy cases, forensic accounting involves evaluating transaction history, asset transfers, and creditor obligations to identify any fraud, misappropriation, or preferential payments that may have occurred. Forensic accountants may also assist in negotiations with banks, investors, and stakeholders, helping companies and trustees understand their financial exposure and maintain regulatory compliance.

What is technology-assisted document review?

Technology-assisted document review uses advanced software and analytics to efficiently identify relevant documents in large data sets. Forensic accountants and investigators leverage these tools to uncover evidence, reduce review time, and provide actionable insights in litigation, regulatory matters, and internal investigations.

What is the difference between forensic accounting and standard auditing?

Standard auditing verifies financial statements for accuracy and compliance with accounting standards, while forensic accounting investigates suspected fraud, misappropriation, or financial disputes. Forensic accounting can also involve legal support, damage quantification, and expert testimony.

Don’t risk long, drawn-out litigations.
