Forensic investigation & compliance

Increased regulation and a stronger focus on compliance have led to a rise in investigations across areas such as fraud, anti-bribery and corruption, and other financial crimes.  These matters require discretion, expertise and a measured approach to minimise reputational and financial risks. As one of the leading forensic audit companies, Forvis Mazars provides a comprehensive suite of services to support your investigations, including valuations in times of crisis to help organisations accurately assess financial exposure, manage disputes and make informed, confident decisions.

Our approach

We take pride in conducting thorough and discreet investigations, always mindful of our clients’ priorities -   protecting reputation, maintaining confidentiality and minimising business disruption. For accounting investigations, our qualified accountants and fraud experts bring extensive experience in handling complex cases involving fraud, regulatory inquiries, tax investigations and corruption, including matters under the US FCPA or UK Bribery Act. 

Once issues are identified, we deploy specialists to help quantify and recover losses, prevent recurrence and strengthen internal resilience.  Our team also provides proactive support through risk profiling, internal controls evaluation, fraud awareness courses and crime surveys, backed by deep expertise in continuous integrity monitoring. 

Forvis Mazars’ forensic technology team leverages advanced data analytics tools and algorithms to perform data mining and forensic analysis for complex investigations and dispute resolution.  Data from multiple sources, including mobile devices and “deleted” data, can be securely stored on our premises in a forensically sound format, ensuring rapid identification of suspicious transactions and ensuring admissibility in court. Additional specialist services, such as password recovery and data decryption can further enhance investigations by uncovering critical supporting evidence.
