Forensic Audit: Significance

Whether developed, under-developed or still-developing, no country in the world is fully insulated from crimes and frauds. And UAE is no exception despite ranking second in the highest law and order index and being one of the world’s safest places to live and work. We have to admit the fact that – more the success higher the crime possibilities. After all, wealth lures criminal activity. People tend to do shady things that would give them quick gains with no sweat. To simmer down this, the UAE government brought into existence Penal Code Article No. 399 in 1987.
Fraud is a crime that can happen anywhere. The business industry is mostly concerned with this said crime. Therefore, for businessmen, it’s of utmost importance that they are in the know of the things that they ought to be aware of regarding fraud because doing so will help them in preventing themselves from being a victim or practising one considering it a simple matter with not many repercussions. Even a small fraudulent activity, done intentionally or unintentionally, can put all your years of hard work and reputation down the drain if caught. Despite carrying out business activities fair and square, companies may fall victim to suspicion from their shareholders. But it’s not always the case. There may be diverse reasons that can generate the need of knocking on the door of third-party fraud investigation service providers in the UAE. This may cause significant damage to the company’s reputation if the fraud leads to adverse opinions. In a nutshell, a forensic audit is required when a business needs to:

Find a piece of evidence or two while dealing with a case in court concerning funds/money

FAQ

How forensic auditors are different from regular auditors?

The process of investigation, detection, and prevention of fraud/theft in a company is forensic auditing. While ensuring that there are no material misstatements in financial statements and that these financial statements are an accurate representation of a company’s financial position is auditing. In other words, an auditor determines whether a company’s financial statements offer a fair assessment of its current position in accounting and forensic accountants are deployed to do the exact opposite of what they do using their sceptical attitude.

Forensic accountants must combine a diverse set of skills. They, by virtue of their skills, uncover and document fraud in financial transactions.

They try to elicit useful information by questioning suspected wrongdoers or witnesses. The techniques that are used in gathering evidence are – Interviews, Internal Controls, Software Programs, Analytical Procedures, Substantive Procedures.
Reporting: The process ends with preparing a report explaining the findings, evidence summary, and other details such as how the fraud was carried out along with recommendations to prevent such kinds of fraud in the future. This report is good to be proffered as evidence in court if the client wants to file a case.
Court Proceeding: The auditor has to be present during the court proceeding in order to explain in simple terms how they gathered the evidence and also how they spotted the suspect.
Without a doubt, a forensic auditor plays a pivotal role in the entire fraud investigation. You may easily find an experienced forensic auditor in Dubai from a well-established accounting or business consultancy firm.
