Forensic auditing is the application of special skills in accounting, auditing, finance, quantitative methods of law, and investigative skills to collect, analyse and evaluate evidential matter and to interpret and communicate findings.

Forensic accountants are therefore employed to seek, interpret, and communicate transactional and reporting event evidence in an objective, legally sustainable fashion, not only in situations where there are specific allegations of wrongdoing, but also in situations where interested parties judge that the risk of loss from wrongdoing is such that proper prudence requires legally sustainable evidence to support a realistic conclusion that no wrongdoing is occurring.

When undertaking forensic audits we plan our procedures to:  

• Obtain an understanding of how the business activity has been documented, recorded reported, managed and controlled;

• Identify, obtain, examine, and evaluate relevant financial and other pertinent information;

• Quantify the financial impact of transactions or events;

• Perform and interpret relevant analyses of financial information;

• Document and explain financial information and the results of the financial analyses for decision making purposes; and

• Provide relevant and appropriate opinions on the findings and results of the work performed
