What is forensic accounting?
Forensic accounting applies accounting, data analysis and investigation techniques to find, quantify and document financial wrongdoing. The output is evidence, not just an opinion.
When do businesses need a forensic investigation?
Common triggers are suspected employee or vendor fraud, diversion of funds by a partner or director, a whistle-blower complaint, a lender's forensic audit, a shareholder dispute, and an insolvency professional's review of avoidance transactions (preferential, undervalued, extortionate or fraudulent transactions under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016).
What does the law say about fraud in companies?
Fraud is punishable under section 447 of the Companies Act, 2013. An auditor who finds a fraud of ₹1 crore or more must report it to the Central Government under section 143(12). Banks follow the RBI's master directions on fraud risk management, which provide for external or forensic audits when fraud is suspected in a borrower account.
