Forensic Accounting
Any business is susceptible to suffering financial losses, various types of financial irregularities, fraud, breach of contract, professional negligence, shareholder disputes and a host of other problems that require the services of a forensic accountant. Acting as a financial “investigator”, they help to prevent these problems, and to detect and mitigate or minimise their impact, to ensure the proper functioning of public and private companies, and to manage their claims for loss of sales and profit, following the occurrence of a loss event.
