Forensic Accounting Services

Respond Carefully When Fraud Is Suspected

Suspected fraud demands a prompt and discreet response. Acting without a clear plan can compromise records, alert those involved, or limit opportunities for recovery. DMJPS helps organizations understand what may have occurred, preserve important information, and determine the appropriate next steps.

Our CPAs and fraud examiners use investigative auditing to trace transactions, reconstruct compromised records, and quantify financial losses. When needed, we also work alongside legal counsel, law enforcement, and insurance providers throughout the investigation and recovery process.

Investigate Losses.
Reduce Future Risk.

Fraud services should address more than what happened. DMJPS helps organizations investigate suspicious activity, pursue recovery options, and strengthen the financial processes that protect against future incidents.

Investigative Auditing

Our professionals examine financial records and follow the movement of funds to identify irregularities, hidden assets, and transactions affecting your organization. When records have been altered, removed, or compromised, we can reconstruct financial activity and document the potential loss.

We also prepare findings that may support insurance claims, civil proceedings, or criminal matters. Our team can coordinate with attorneys and law enforcement while providing litigation support, testimony, or expert witness services when needed.

Internal Control Reviews

Fraud prevention begins with understanding where financial processes are vulnerable. We evaluate existing controls, approval procedures, access levels, and checks and balances to identify weaknesses that may expose the organization to fraud or inaccurate reporting.

Our recommendations may address financial controls, fraud reporting practices, information safeguards, and oversight responsibilities. These improvements can reduce exposure while supporting more effective financial operations.

Fraud Investigation Process

Every situation requires a thoughtful response. We begin by understanding what prompted the concern, what information is available, and what your organization hopes to accomplish. From there, we develop an investigation plan that protects the integrity of the information and keeps the work focused.

Assess the Situation

Assess

We meet with key decision-makers to understand the concern, review available information, and establish the appropriate scope. We also discuss discretion, record preservation, and whether legal counsel or other professionals should be involved.

Trace

Our team analyzes transactions, tests financial records, and follows the movement of funds. When information is incomplete or compromised, we reconstruct financial activity and quantify the resulting loss.

Support

We prepare findings and supporting documentation for potential asset recovery, insurance claims, employment actions, civil litigation, or criminal proceedings. We coordinate with attorneys, insurers, and law enforcement as appropriate.

Strengthen

After the immediate concern is addressed, we identify the control failures or process gaps that may have allowed it to occur. We then recommend practical changes that improve oversight and reduce future exposure.
