In increasingly complex business surroundings, the full gamut of white-collar crimes is difficult to uncover even as they impose significant stress and strain on business. Forensic audits cover a large spectrum of investigative activities such as financial fraud, cyber security threats. There may be a forensic audit to prosecute a party for fraud, embezzlement or other financial crimes. The auditor may be called in during the process of a forensic audit to serve as an expert witness during trial proceedings. Forensic audits could also include situations that do not involve financial fraud, such as bankruptcy filing disputes and closures of businesses.
