Accountants look at numbers, while forensic accountants look beyond the numbers to determine the true position of a particular business situation.
Forensic accounting is the process of investigation utilising financial and business information to understand the numbers and interpret the story behind them. It is a process that requires investigative skills, an open enquiring mind and a comprehension of business and financial fundamentals.
Information compiled during this process can be used by lawyers involved in commercial litigation and as a basis for expert evidence in a formal dispute resolution process.
A typical forensic accounting assignment would be an assessment of true causes of financial loss, an investigation of corporate fraud or a deliberate misstatement of the financial statements by management.
