Fraud and Forensic Audit
Financial security is paramount for any organization. Unfortunately, fraud is a persistent threat that can significantly impact your bottom line. Having the right tools and expertise to combat it is crucial. Here, SAKH & Associates dives deep into understanding fraud and forensic audits, and how we can be your partner in navigating these complex situations.
What is Fraud?
Fraud refers to any deliberate misrepresentation of financial information or activity for personal gain. It encompasses a wide range of activities, including:
- Embezzlement:Stealing funds or assets entrusted to your care.
- Asset misappropriation:Using company assets for personal benefit.
- Billing schemes:Submitting false invoices or manipulating billing records.
- Payroll fraud:Submitting false timesheets or creating fictitious employees.
- Financial statement fraud:Intentionally misrepresenting financial information in reports.
What is a Forensic Audit?
A forensic audit goes beyond a traditional audit. It’s a specialized investigation designed to uncover and gather evidence of potential fraud. Unlike a standard audit focused on verifying financial statements, a forensic audit meticulously examines financial records, transactions, and other data to find red flags and reconstruct fraudulent activity.
