Investigative audit

Specialists in detecting fraud and misconduct in companies

An investigative audit involves precise and detailed investigations conducted by certified investigators specialising in detecting fraud and misconduct within companies. We get to the heart of the issue, identifying perpetrators and mechanisms of misconduct.

Our team works with management, legal departments, and compliance teams. We provide evidence regarding suspicions of misconduct or irregularities. Additionally, we conduct proactive audits aimed at identifying potential fraud risks within organizations.

Our investigative audit begins with a review and assessment of available information. Next, we develop an investigation plan and outline a sequence of evidentiary actions. Key documents, other materials, and relevant sources of information are identified and secured. We pinpoint individuals with critical knowledge of the case, conduct interviews with witnesses, and analyze the gathered evidence and information. Our investigations encompass all operational areas of the organization, including accounting, finance, production processes, logistics, and warehousing.

As a result, our audit produces a detailed report. We document detected irregularities, methods of operation, the individuals involved, an assessment of incurred losses, and the evidence supporting our findings.

We ensure confidentiality guaranteed by client-investigator privilege. Furthermore, we support our clients in legal proceedings by acting as witnesses and experts.

Our report includes practical recommendations for further actions. After completing the audit, we propose implementing policies and procedures designed to reduce the risk of future misconduct. We also assist in training management and staff to ensure better understanding of new procedures and to enhance their effectiveness.
