Forensic Accounting& Fraud Detection
Forensic accounting examines a firm's financial statements and records so that the resulting reports can be used as evidence in a court of law or any other legal proceedings. Its main objective is to support the prosecution of any party involved in fraud, malpractice or embezzlement. A forensic audit can also be conducted to restore public confidence that has been damaged by false allegations made against the firm.
