Examples of Forensic Accounting Assignments carried out

Before the Event Forensic Accountancy

Forensic accounting is not solely for the purpose of finding solutions after the event, and Friel Stafford are also able to provide “before the event” forensic accountancy services in order to evaluate accounting procedures and internal controls with the aim to prevent fraud before it occurs.

While unable to provide absolute assurance that no future fraudulent activity will take place, it is often a wise option to have a forensic accountant in Ireland review existing accounting procedures before a problem materialises.

This form of “insurance” forensic accountancy has been known to act as a deterrent against fraud, which in turns strengthens the individual´s or organisation´s internal control environment, and is a cost-effective way of protecting your individual or corporate assets. We also provide an Internal audit Service.
