Forensic Accounting & Fraud Examination
No executive wants to believe that a vendor, customer or employee would betray a trust. Unfortunately, dishonest individuals (who, many times, are your most trusted employees) are everywhere-and the most likely victims of fraud are those who do not take steps to prevent it.
Studies have estimated that the U.S. government and businesses lose over $600 billion dollars annually due to occupational fraud and abuse. Naturally, then, preventing employee fraud and theft should be a primary focus of loss-prevention initiatives for almost any type of business.
Dixon Hughes Goodman's forensic accountants are trained to analyze, interpret, summarize and present complex financial- and business-related issues in a manner that is both understandable and properly supported. We are familiar with legal concepts and procedures and can identify substance over form when dealing with multiple issues.
The fraud examiners at Dixon Hughes Goodman are trained specialists in the detection and deterrence of a wide variety of fraudulent conduct-from discovering employees or executives who misappropriate company assets to assisting investors who are defrauded in the course of commercial transactions.
