Forensic Auditing

Businesses are suffering from an increasing level of fraud and illegal operations. These actions damage business both materially and in terms of image and credibility. The effects of the phenomenon are felt even more so when the companies affected have listed shares and securities held by members of the public or are companies with high visibility in the economic and business world. The trend towards and increasing level of fraud and illegal operations is boosted by the complex nature of business and corporate organisations, ineffectual control systems and a general lack of internal audit departments. It is impossible to analyse the extent of the phenomenon in its entirety as most of the companies affected prefer not to report the events to the outside world and take action as quickly as possible to resolve the issues emerging.
