FORENSIC AUDIT SERVICES
An audit that looks for fraud or other financial irregularities is called forensic audit.
Forensic auditors draw on their expertise in accounting, auditing, and law to gather
information and identify the root of the problem.
Forensic audits are frequently conducted in reactions to alleged fraud or embezzlement
incidents. However, they can also be used as a precaution to foresee issues.
Depending on the situation, the scope of an audit may change. However, this usually
involves the following steps.
- Planning an audit entails determining the audit's goals, creating an
audit strategy, and obtaining management approval for the plan.
- Gathering documentation, interviewing witnesses, and carrying out
procedures are all parts of the evidence collection process.
- Examining evidence to determine the root cause of the issue is known
as evidence analysis.
- Presenting findings: This entails informing the board and management
of the audit's findings.
