Warning Signs
When Should You Consider a Fraud Examination?
Fraud is not always obvious. Warning signs may include unexplained withdrawals, missing funds, unusual vendor payments, unexplained changes in profitability, personal expenses paid by a business, altered accounting entries, missing documentation, or financial information that simply does not make sense.
If you suspect something is wrong, an independent review of the financial records can help determine whether there is a reasonable explanation or whether further investigation is warranted.
