Contrary to common belief, it is not the auditors’ function to detect fraud, embezzlement and the like. However, directors may have certain suspicions that things may not be well in their company. They would call upon the specialists to investigate the suspicious matter and report back to the board – these are the so-called forensic services.

As with any investigation, the steps to be taken are to be carefully considered and executed, being mindful to not contaminate any evidence which may later prevent a successful conviction of a perpetrator. At PKF–FCS Auditors we have all the knowledge and experience to perform these forensic services professionally and effectively.
