Forensic

The Forensic team at KPMG helps clients prevent, discover and handle cases of misconduct.

Both public and private sector organizations are constantly at risk for financial and reputational loss. Past financial scandals have brought to light how financial incentives or greater pressure can lead to fraudulent reporting. The challenges faced in the current climate only increases the fraud risk, making it even more critical for organizations to be more vigilant than ever before. Financial losses due to white-collar crime have increased over the last few years. Learn more about last year’s fraud cases in our Forensic Fraud Barometer study.

We help our clients take the right measures to identify, mitigate and react to potentially contentious or harmful situations. We find it equally important to assist our clients in taking a strategic approach and to advise our clients on claims, recoveries and other actions that can be taken based on what we have found.

Regardless of whether it is a case of fraud, a business dispute, a contract compliance issue, a regulatory enquiry or sizeable transaction, serious issues can quickly crop up, spiral out of control and cause substantial damage. We combine the best forensic skills in the market with our team of accountants, investigators, economists, technology specialists, ex-law enforcement professionals and regulators.
