How a Forensic Audit Works

A standard audit is meant to provide general assurance that financial statements look reasonable. A forensic audit is different; it’s designed to prove what happened and document it in detail.


Forensic audit services focus on the story behind each transaction, with support that holds up under tough questions. The work traces approvals, timing, and the flow of funds, then ties it back to source documents.


A forensic team often answers practical questions like: Where did the funds go, who approved it, when did it start, and how much did it cost? If the issue is vendor fraud, the audit can connect invoices, purchase orders, receiving records, and payments to show what’s real and what’s inflated.

When a Forensic Financial Audit Makes Sense

Common triggers include:


  • A whistleblower tip or internal complaint


  • Weak controls after turnover or staff cuts


  • Rapid growth that outpaces finance oversight


  • Unexplained cash shortages or margin drops


  • Unusual journal entries or late-night adjustments


  • Conflict-of-interest concerns with vendors


  • Grant, contract, or merger-related disputes
