Forensic
Only a few years ago, white-collar crime typically involved fraud committed by an individual against an organization. Now we are in a different world – one in which the stakes of fraud have been raised dramatically.
Today, while individuals continue to defraud, corporations and their stakeholders have recognized the frightening potential for a much more serious type of corporate crime: financial statement manipulation. When a group of senior executives conspire to distort a company's publicly reported information, the end result can be disastrous: loss of business, loss of jobs, damaged shareholder value, or even the demise of the company.
KPMG can help address these challenges. Our mandate is to assist in resolving issues when corporate behaviour contravenes ethical standards, and to help create clarity when information, organizations or individuals disagree.
Our professionals can offer support after an incident – to help our clients identify perpetrators, quantify losses in a commercial dispute, provide expert witness services, and recover damages. Even more importantly, we get involved before any incident has occurred – to help address exploitable weaknesses in corporate processes and systems.
Combinations to meet specific needs
Each Forensic service is based on a distinct professional skill set. However, our services are often delivered in strategic combinations to meet the demands of a specific business problem or opportunity.
