Forensic
Accounting is the utilization of accounting knowledge along with the use
of auditing and investigative skills and techniques to produce reports and
analyses suitable for use by courts and other investigative bodies to provide
a basis for discussion, debate and ultimately dispute resolution.
We have developed
an expertise in this area which is led by a partner, Tamber
Alsop, who has achieved the status of a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE)
after completing a specialized curriculum requiring 100 hours of specialized
training, a character and background investigation and meeting certain
experience requirements. As a CFE she must continue to participate in
ongoing CPE and execute all engagements in compliance with a special Code
of Ethics.
Fraud accounts for
billions of dollars of losses for businesses each year in the United States.
Fraud can take the form of accounts receivable manipulation, diversion
of sales, fictitious vendors, payroll manipulation, petty cash theft and
expense account abuse, among other activities. While there is a good deal
of publicity regarding fraudulent activities at large companies, a recent
study showed that small organizations (100 employees or fewer) actually
suffer larger median losses from fraud than large organizations (with
10,000 plus employees). In fact, small companies are over 100 times more
vulnerable to fraud than their largest counterparts.
Any organization
(governmental units or not-for-profits) benefits from fraud detection
or prevention services. Our clients often include:
- Company Board of
Directors
- Company CEO
- Audit Committee
- Company Legal Officer
- Outside Counsel
- Governmental Officials

The development of a planning process must be tailored to fit the facts and circumstances of each organization. Our management advisory services are designed and modified to fit your needs and requirements for appropriate planning.
