Forensic Accounting Procedures, Internal Audit, and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)

Outsourced Executive and Management Services

Forensic Accounting is the application of a transaction reconstruction methodology as it relates to legal issues. It is frequently associated with the analytical investigation of civil or criminal actions, such as white-collar crime (fraud and embezzlement); insurance casualty claims; loss measurement; accounting malpractice; bankruptcy; matrimonial cases; and the general abuse of trust relationships.

Typical tools used in Forensic Accounting methodology are bank records, corporate records, personal financial statements, interviews and credit reports. Once the evidence has been gathered, the examiner's responsibility is to analyze and deliver clear, accurate and unbiased reports that reflect the results of the investigation.

We have also been engaged to assist with the reconstruction of several clients' general ledgers after a computer software and/or hardware malfunction while concurrently developing written financial procedures and protocols, and have assisted clients with the difficulties that can occur subsequent to the unexpected departure of a key officer, financial executive or manager.

Internal Audit and Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance (SOX) is the development of key objectives to safeguard the assets of a company on behalf of both management and shareholders. We develop the testing processes to ensure that the internal control objectives are being adhered to and, subsequent to the testing process, improve the controls in a cost-effective manner. During the course of this process, we provide superior business advisory services because we are "in the trenches" and understand the company from the bottom up, not only from a compliance perspective but from a process improvement perspective as well.

We function as outsourced internal auditors and/or in conjunction with independent big 4 auditors to identify key control objectives, develop audit frameworks and write audit narratives. We also have experience with compliance testing, COSO compliance and the remediation of audit issues. We interact with top management throughout the engagement so that the company will have the risk management information and process improvement input to allow management to make optimal business decisions and maximize strategy.
