the phenomenon of fraud is not something static and new modalities and methods
of defrauding emerge every day, just as social habits and the environment as a
whole change.

measures and fraud detection, which are capable of detecting and preventing
almost any fraud, however complex it may be. One of these measures is the
forensic audit. This is carried out especially in the field of public and
private finance and is one of the types of audits that is primarily responsible
for fraud investigation.

been incorporated into the curricula of some of the public accounting programs accredited

What is a forensic
audit?
Forensic audit is a technique that aims at criminal
investigation, integrated in the field of accounting, legal-procedural
knowledge and focused on financial and business skills.
The forensic audit, after its investigation and analysis,
will express a series of opinions and certain and objective information, which
will serve as evidence in the face of legal proceedings.
This type of audit carries with it a large and complex team
of professionals, among which we can find: auditors, computer scientists,
lawyers, accountants, graphotechnicians, etc. This team will be variable and
will be made up according to the type of company audited, its activity,
dimensions, employees, type of operations and other important elements to take
into account. For example, if the company to which the forensic audit is to be
carried out belongs to the environmental sector, it will be necessary to bring
forestry professionals.
