Forensic Accounting & Fraud Investigations

How We Help

Whether triggered by a whistleblower complaint, internal audit, or regulatory action, investigations are often undertaken by the company or its board of directors. Frequently, these investigations are performed at the direction of outside counsel or the organization’s in-house counsel. When independent support with industry-specific expertise on investigations, compliance programs, internal controls or technical accounting issues is needed, FTI Consulting can help. We assist in resolving issues and conducting forensic accounting investigations and compliance remediation projects quickly, efficiently and impartially.

Whether the allegations relate to accounting malfeasance, bribery or embezzlement, Ponzi schemes or other corporate improprieties, our professionals — widely considered as among the industry’s top practitioners — have extensive experience conducting investigations.
