Fraud Investigation & Forensic Accounting FAQs

What is Fraud Investigation?

Fraud investigation is the practice of employing accounting, auditing, and investigative skills to assist in the determination of whether matters such as employee theft, business fraud (including falsification of financial statements), insurance fraud, and identity theft have occurred. Investigative work may also be required in civil matters such as searching for hidden assets in divorce cases.

Why is ARA Litigation Consultants different than other firms?

At ARA Litigation Consultants we look beyond the numbers to grasp the substance of questionable situations. This type of accounting is a combination of specific skills that are increasingly in demand as business complexity expands, and requires the most important quality an investigator can possess: the ability to think logically with an eye to detail.

What is our approach to Fraud Prevention?

Through investigative work, we recommend actions and internal controls designed to minimize risk of loss and reduce likelihood of future fraud. We work to understand your operations. For example, understanding how money flows into and out of your business, understanding the flow of product and supplies in and out of your business, and understanding the sales process within your business are all aspects of providing a fraud prevention plan.
