Meaning and Applicability
Uncovering the Significance of Forensic Audits in Investigations
Forensic audit represents a specialized investigation into financial records, transactions, and practices to uncover potential fraud, financial mismanagement, or other irregularities within an organization. Unlike traditional audits that primarily focus on compliance and financial accuracy, forensic audits delve deeply into detecting, preventing, and mitigating fraudulent activities. These audits are often initiated in response to suspicions, allegations, or legal mandates. Forensic audits are applicable across various sectors, including corporations, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and legal entities involved in dispute resolution, where there is a need to ensure transparency, accountability, and integrity in financial matters.
