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).
How do we investigate?
We secure the data first, then analyse ledgers, bank statements and system logs with data analytics, test vendor and employee master data, trace fund flows and interview people involved. Electronic records relied on in court need a certificate under section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, so we keep a chain of custody from the start.
