Forensic Accounting
Financial records can reveal patterns, inconsistencies and relationships that are not visible from individual documents or explanations alone.
Forensic accounting applies accounting knowledge to questions that require investigation rather than routine reporting. It is particularly useful when an organisation needs to understand unusual transactions, quantify a potential loss, reconstruct events or test whether the financial explanation for a matter is consistent with the underlying records.
R2N Partner combines financial analysis with investigative thinking. Depending on the matter, this can involve general ledger analysis, bank and payment review, invoice and vendor testing, reconciliation of records, cash-flow reconstruction, identification of related transactions and assessment of accounting treatment. The work is designed around the specific allegation or question rather than a standard audit programme.
Forensic accounting can support internal investigations, disputes, insolvency-related reviews, suspected misappropriation, procurement fraud, revenue or expense manipulation and other situations where financial evidence is central. Where appropriate, the analysis can be integrated with corporate intelligence and OSINT to understand counterparties, ownership links or external facts connected to the transactions.
The purpose is not simply to identify anomalies. It is to connect financial evidence to the underlying facts, explain the significance of the findings and provide a clear basis for management, counsel or other decision-makers to determine the next step.
