Forensic Accounting

Overview

CRA’s Forensic Accounting team works closely with legal counsel, corporations, individuals, and government agencies to support high-stakes disputes, investigations, and regulatory matters.

Our focus is on the financial evidence underlying allegations such as fraud, misstatement, and misconduct, and translating detailed analysis into clear, defensible conclusions.

We investigate complex financial matters by analyzing accounting data to identify, quantify, and explain what occurred. We assess books and records to uncover issues such as asset misappropriation, bribery and corruption, and financial statement and disclosure irregularities. Using risk-based transaction testing and targeted analysis, supported by advanced analytics and AI-enabled tools, we isolate anomalous activity and evaluate its broader impact.

CRA’s forensic accounting capabilities are part of a broader, multidisciplinary model that integrates investigative research and advanced analytics. This structure enables us to deliver a more cost-effective and comprehensive solution throughout the investigation lifecycle.

CRA’s Digital Forensics experts support clients in high-stakes investigations, disputes, cybersecurity incidents, and regulatory matters. Our team combines rapid cyber incident response with litigation-grade forensic investigation and expert testimony, helping organizations understand what happened, why it happened, and how to move forward.
