Forensic reviews

Forensic reviews are often triggered when stakeholders lose confidence in reported numbers - whether due to internal concerns, investor pressure, or regulatory scrutiny.

We don’t just recheck numbers. We assess whether financial reporting reflects reality, where it diverges, and why.

We typically review:

• ‍‍questionable financial reporting positions
• unexplained variances in performance
• balance sheet integrity concerns
• revenue recognition issues (IFRS / local GAAP alignment)
• prior period adjustments or restatements

We ensure:

• structured, evidence-based review approach
• alignment with IFRS and relevant reporting frameworks
• clear explanation of financial impact for non-technical stakeholders
• practical recommendations that can be implemented immediately

Most forensic reviews fail because they become either too technical or too cautious - leaving management with more uncertainty than before.

We focus on clarity.

When numbers don’t reconcile, teams often spend weeks debating explanations instead of identifying root causes. We remove that loop early by focusing on transaction-level reality, not just ledger-level symptoms.

We are typically brought in when:

• internal finance teams cannot reconcile key balances
• auditors raise concerns but do not provide practical resolution paths
• group reporting is inconsistent across jurisdictions
• prior financial statements are under scrutiny

We stay practical, calm, and structured - and we make sure leadership teams get a clear view of financial reality without unnecessary escalation noise.
