Forensic audit is appropriate where there are concerns around fraud, misconduct, financial manipulation, misappropriation of assets, conflicts of interest, irregular payments or other matters that require deeper investigation. Unlike a conventional audit, a forensic engagement is evidence-driven, targeted and often highly sensitive. It requires structured fact-finding, clear documentation and a disciplined approach to preserving and analysing information.
RAA undertakes forensic audit assignments with an emphasis on objectivity, confidentiality and clarity of reporting. Depending on the circumstances, our work may include transaction testing, document review, data analysis, background fact-finding, interviews and control-gap assessment. We seek to identify what happened, how it happened, who was involved, the financial impact and what remedial action should be considered.
