3 steps experts follow when investigating fraud - Crawford Ellenbogen

When investigating suspected fraud, forensic accountants follow three steps to build a solid case. They generally interview management to gather information about the specific suspicion, general fraud risks and internal controls in place. They also interview suspects and possible witnesses. Next, they gather physical and digital information, such as HR files and IT records. Finally, they analyze the facts. This requires them to review and categorize internal and external evidence, conduct computer-assisted data analysis and test various hypotheses.
