Forensic Accounting

 

When concerns about fraud, abuse, embezzlement or accounting irregularities arise, Kroll has the investigative prowess and accounting expertise needed to uncover the facts and determine whether the numbers add up.


How We Investigate

Kroll’s forensic accountants examine and analyze relevant business records, reconstruct books and interview involved parties. We uncover relevant facts to determine:

  • if suspicious activity has occurred
  • how long it has been in progress
  • how it was concealed
  • the value of the impact

Additionally, we are able to quantify losses as a result of the fraud, helping to drive recovery, litigation and insurance claims strategies.

Kroll has extensive experience in assisting clients who are subject to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigations. Our forensic accountants evaluate previously issued accounting statements, determine whether a misstatement occurred, quantify the amount of the restatement and establish the cause. Subsequently, we can make recommendations for corrective action and assist in dealings with the SEC.


The Kroll Advantage

Our forensic accountants are supported by seasoned financial analysts, statisticians, former SEC investigators, and computer forensics professionals. By combining financial insight and experience with investigative techniques, Kroll is able to quickly uncover and unravel the facts surrounding financial fraud allegations. Our independent status ensures an objective assessment, upon which corrective measures can be built.
