Forensic Audit Services: Uncovering Financial Truths with Expert Precision
In an era of increasing financial complexity and regulatory scrutiny, businesses and organizations must safeguard themselves against fraud, financial misrepresentation, and compliance risks. At FMC Accountants, we provide comprehensive forensic audit services designed to detect, investigate, and prevent financial irregularities—giving you the clarity and confidence to protect your assets and reputation.
What Is a Forensic Audit?
A forensic audit is a specialized examination of financial records, transactions, and business practices to identify fraud, embezzlement, corruption, or financial mismanagement. Unlike traditional audits, forensic audits are investigative in nature, often involving legal scrutiny and expert testimony.

Suspected employee theft, fraud, or financial misconduct
Discrepancies in financial statements or unexplained losses
Litigation support for disputes, insurance claims, or shareholder conflicts
Regulatory or compliance investigations (SEC, FCPA, AML, etc.)
Due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, or partnerships
Divorce or business dissolution involving asset disputes
