How we can help?
-
Accounting Standards
There is always a trace. Accounting is based on the double-entry standard, and therefore for every transaction there must be a corresponding one. Being able to follow this thread is critical.
-
Data Verification
The data needs to be verifiable. Simply locating the transactions is only half of the exercise. All data must be able to validated as having occurred. Having an understanding of how this occurs is of critical importance.
-
Understanding Local Compliance Requirements
Taxation and accounting is still governed by legislative requirements and regulations. Understanding these can assist an investigation, as legitimate taxation strategies, versus abnormal and unorthodox transactions worthy of further questioning.
-
Multi Dimensional
Understanding the nuances and audit trails of accounting software solutions is necessary. Each system has unique characteristics and methods for recording information, and having an understanding of this can provide significant data for the investigation.
