Background
Forensic Analysis is a label that could be used to describe a more advanced form of Analytics. During the analysis of organizational data, the Internal Auditor should always be looking for indications of fraud, waste and or abuse. Generally, when indications of such activity are noted, appropriate and discreet audit procedures are applied to confirm or disprove any indicated theory of wrongdoing. Normally, when any form of malfeasance is further substantiated by hard evidence, the Internal Auditor will consult with corporate counsel to map out a strategy to further investigate the nature and extent of the problem.
YCN
YCN professionals have had occasion to employ forensic testing procedures to search for and quantify fraudulent or other improper transactions. We have the expertise to either perform an independent review based on client needs or we can join an internal team to supplement knowledge and work with an internal team to apply appropriate procedures to quantify improper transactions and install appropriate controls to prevent recurrence of undesired activity.
