What does a forensic auditor do?

A Forensic Auditor examines financial records to detect fraud, embezzlement, or other financial misconduct. They analyze transactions, trace funds, and assess financial statements for irregularities. Their work often supports legal proceedings, requiring them to prepare reports and sometimes testify in court. Forensic Auditors collaborate with law enforcement, legal teams, and corporate management to investigate financial crimes and recommend controls to prevent future fraud.
