Forensic Accounting and Investigations

You obtained a whistleblower tip, received allegations of wrongdoing, plan to exercise a contractual audit right, question the validity of transactions or events, or are representing an end-client in a matter.  In a crisis situation, you need a trusted advisor to assist management and counsel in conducting a legal and ethical investigation with confidentiality.  Rasmussen Solutions’ process includes the following general steps, tailored to the specific facts and circumstances of your matter:

• Preliminary assessment
• Establish plan
• Execute plan
• Obtain and analyze evidentiary matter (e.g., document and/or email review, interviews)
• Report findings
• Recommend corrective actions
• Follow up, as necessary

There is no one-size-fits-all approach.  You demand and deserve a successful outcome.  To do this, you need a trusted professional who will understand the nature of the issues or allegations and your expectations and timeline.  Don’t leave the outcome to chance.
