    Forensic Due Diligence

    The work of the forensic accountant on due diligence matters generates information that allows the buyer (and the seller) to make more informed decisions, ensuring transparency and thereby limiting potential pitfalls and conflicts.

    • In addition to conducting investigative due diligence on principals and their associates' acts on the Company, Corefin’s financial investigations professionals can undertake forensic due diligence on an organization, providing a review of financial transactions, accounting, compliance and operations by identifying and assessing questionable transactions and risk areas as the first line of defense in preventing and detecting fraud, financial crimes or potential sanctions-related issues.
    • The fallout from discovering internal control failures after acquisition may have tremendous regulatory implications, including exposure to fraud, corruption and damages levied as a result of compliance violations.
    • Usually these engagements are carried out jointly with a law firm.

     

  • Governance, Risk & Control
