The recent economic crisis and subsequent business failures of recent times have left many investors and stakeholders in search of answers and, in some cases, proceeding down the path of litigation.

In challenging times, it has also become apparent that growing complexity in business and the rise of electronic commerce has seen increases in electronic fraud and has escalated the risk of unethical behaviour, misappropriation, misrepresentation and privacy abuse across many sectors.

Forensic and investigative accounting seeks to assess operational, business and environmental risk and analyse potentially fraudulent or misleading activity to clarify issues of financial mismanagement and/or litigation support.

Forensic and investigative accounting can also provide the first line of defence through assessing the risk or value of security or likely recovery of debts.

With experience across a range of industries, Bentleys’ expert team deliver services focussed on providing clients with the information and assurance necessary to make informed business decisions.
