Ask FERF About...Forensic Audit Services.
- Authors
Orenstein, Edith G.
- Abstract
This article discusses forensic audit services, auditors who investigate possible fraudulent practices and serve as secondary auditors to back up routine services. The article states that following the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, there has been an increase in fraud awareness and criminal practices, which is helping the forensic auditing field to grow. The article explains that legal firms usually hire the forensic auditors if there is an investigation so that the work product falls under attorney-client privilege. The article gives suggestions on how to choose a forensic auditor, and also gives a list of firms that provide forensic auditing services, including FTI Consulting, KPMG Forensic, and Kroll Zolfo Cooper.
