Illegal or unauthorized acts – whether by employees, vendors, contractors, or strangers – pose grave threats to the integrity of corporate assets and information. Fraud and corruption can cause untold damage to corporate reputations and immeasurable economic harm.
Our overriding objective is to ensure that the reputations of our clients remain intact and that the impact of fraudulent or corrupt activity is identified and quickly mitigated.
We take complex financial data and transform it into clear, fact-based evidence. Our bench is deep, filled with certified public accountants, certified valuation analysts, fraud examiners, and cyber loss authorities.
We assist audit committees, management, corporate counsel and/or the internal audit team with a thorough investigation of allegations of fraud against the corporate entity including common schemes such as vendor fraud, fictitious employees, accounts payables fraud and embezzlement as well as elaborate schemes involving collusion among various employees.
We assist external counsel with the investigation of alleged corporate wrongdoing including financial statement misrepresentations. Classic schemes include overstatement of income and/or assets as well as understatement of liabilities. Our team of experienced CPAs has assisted Fortune 500 companies with complex accounting restatement issues spanning several historical reporting periods in order to deal with their responses to governmental authorities.
We investigate allegations of receipts or payments of bribery and attempts to conceal such activity ranging from isolated “one-off” incidents involving a few employees to more pervasive conduct involving multiple players in multiple countries. Our team of seasoned investigators are knowledgeable in the nuances of various existing anti-corruption laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (‘FCPA”) and the UK Bribery Act.
We assist clients in evaluating their FCPA and regulatory transactions risks and with their pre-and post-closing needs. We help reduce transaction execution risk both on the buy and sell side.
We understand the complexities and risks tied to contract compliance. Our team conducts risk assessments of contract portfolios by reviewing existing agreements and identifying high-risk areas. Additionally, we review third parties on behalf of rights holders to uncover unpaid or underpaid revenues and royalties. This helps businesses protect their financial interests and ensure fair compensation.
Globalization has greatly expanded the supply chain of organizations throughout the world, as well as increasing the risk associated with it, both foreseen and unforeseen. For example, an earthquake in Mexico may disrupt a supplier of a manufacturer in the US. Our team is prepared to provide expert insight into the contingent claims that accompany supply chain risk management.
The reality is that fraud happens and it happens at an alarming rate. As forensic accountants, we frequently play the dual role of accountants and investigators in order to help businesses gain the clarity they so desperately need after a loss occurs and to help insurance companies resolve such claims quickly and fairly.
