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.
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.
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.
