Fraud and Forensic Services

Companies are required to manage fraud risk across a variety of regulatory frameworks.  In addition to these requirements, consideration of fraud is just good business practice.  Our fraud review and prevention program will help you avoid costly and embarrassing instances of fraud. 

Fraud can and does happen with frightening regularity.  If it happens to you, GAP’s specialized Certified Fraud Examiners (CFE’s) and Certified Public Accountants (CPA’s) are there to help.  A CFE can assess your organization’s unique fraud risks and design programs to cost-effectively reduce exposure and help resolve suspected fraud and abuse occurrences.  GAP offers financial and investigative capabilities to respond immediately and comprehensively to any suspected criminal or civil wrongdoing.

Our target markets include those businesses most highly affected by fraud and abuse including financial services companies, publicly traded manufacturing companies, venture capital firms and fund managers.

Fraud Prevention and Detection Services

Our solutions reduce fraud exposure both through proven risk management strategies and, should fraud be suspected, through comprehensive investigative services.  We effectively uncover fraud schemes, assess their impact, enable prosecution efforts and develop strengthened safeguards. 

Fraud Investigations and Forensic Services

Crises may be triggered by suspicions of or actual incidents of fraud, theft, embezzlement, managerial improprieties, diversion of assets, intentional financial reporting misstatements, intellectual property theft – or nearly any material irregularity. We conduct independent investigations on our client’s behalf, advising them every step of the way, to ensure that their business stabilizes and returns to normal operation.

Expert Witness Testimony and Litigation Support

Many cases are won or lost during discovery, so an investigative accountant can be a valuable asset. We can advise lawyers about the types of records to request. Our investigative accounting techniques help establish causation of damages when searching for improprieties, to uncover hidden assets or fraudulent conveyances, and to detect fraud or embezzlement.
