Digital Forensic & Fraud Support — Remote Investigation
Digital forensic investigation of suspected fraud or financial irregularity, delivered through secure remote evidence handling
Overview
Digital Forensic & Fraud Support investigates suspected fraud, misappropriation, or financial irregularity using digital forensic methodology — analysis of accounting system logs, email and communication metadata where legally accessible, transaction-level ledger tracing, and cloud accounting audit trails — designed to produce evidence that can support internal disciplinary action, legal proceedings, or regulatory reporting. This differs fundamentally from a routine audit: it starts from a specific allegation or red flag and works backward through digital records to establish what happened, with a documented chain of custody preserved throughout. Engagements are sometimes commissioned voluntarily by a Board or Audit Committee, and sometimes mandated externally, such as when a bank classifies a large borrowing account under RBI's fraud risk management framework, or when a statutory auditor identifies suspected fraud requiring reporting under Section 143(12) of the Companies Act, 2013.
