What a forensic investigation covers.
Examination of financial records, transactions, and accounting entries to identify misappropriation, falsification, or manipulation — with documentation to evidentiary standards.
Structured investigation of suspected fraud — including asset misappropriation, procurement fraud, expense fraud, and financial statement manipulation.
Investigation of employee or management misconduct — including conflict of interest, bribery, and violation of company policies — with appropriate interviewing and document review.
Review of electronic communications, system access logs, and financial data using forensic methodology — to reconstruct timelines and identify perpetrators.
Advice and support for interactions with UAE or KSA regulatory authorities in connection with the investigation — including Public Prosecution, financial regulators, and law enforcement.
Post-investigation recommendations for control improvements, policy changes, and structural reforms to prevent recurrence.
