Frequently Asked Questions

What types of fraud does Virtual Auditor investigate?
We investigate financial statement fraud, asset misappropriation, vendor/employee fraud, related party transaction abuse, revenue diversion, and digital fraud. CA V. Viswanathan holds the CFE credential from ACFE, USA — the global standard for fraud examination.
Can the forensic report be used as evidence in court?
Yes. Our forensic reports are prepared with evidentiary standards in mind — proper chain of custody, documented methodology, and conclusions supported by evidence. Reports have been used in NCLT proceedings, arbitrations, and criminal complaints.
How long does a forensic investigation take?
Typically 4-8 weeks depending on scope, data volume, and complexity. Preliminary findings can be shared within 2-3 weeks for urgent matters. Contact us at +91-99622 60333 to discuss your situation confidentially.
I suspect fraud. How can the issue be assessed confidentially and evidence preserved?
Keep the circle small: involve only the people who must know, and bring in legal counsel early. Do not confront the suspected person before evidence is secure. Preserve evidence first: take copies of the accounting system and emails, keep devices and logs, and record a chain of custody, so the evidence can be relied on later. A Certified Fraud Examiner then scopes the allegation, tests transactions with data analysis and document review, interviews in the right order, and reports facts, not conclusions of guilt. Statutory duties may apply, such as the auditor’s duty to report fraud under section 143(12) of the Companies Act. We start with a confidential scoping discussion and an engagement letter that sets the access we need.

What the law says — s.177(9) and (10), Companies Act 2013; Companies (Meetings of Board and its Powers) Rules 2014 r.7

Listed companies, companies accepting deposits and companies with borrowings above Rs 50 crore must maintain a vigil mechanism for directors and employees to report concerns, overseen by the audit committee, with safeguards against victimisation. A whistleblower investigation tests the complaint against evidence and reports to the committee, not management.

How does the procedure work?

  1. Receive the complaint through the vigil mechanism and assess credibility
  2. Define scope with the audit committee chair
  3. Preserve evidence and interview under a protocol
  4. Report findings and recommended action to the committee
  5. Document closure and protection measures
Time limitAs set by the vigil mechanism policy; the complaint record is reviewed by the audit committee
FormsVigil mechanism policy; investigation report
Consequence of defaultNon-maintenance of the vigil mechanism is a default under s.177
