Forensic Accounting: Financial Reporting Distortions

 
When reviewing financial statements, always make sure the financial statements correlate with the underlying books and records of the business. There are certain general financial abuses you should be looking for such as the duplicate processing of income or expenses; the recording and reporting of transactions before they occur; the shifting of current income or expenses to a later or earlier period; whether profits or losses are the results of non-recurring transactions; whether income is being assigned to business partners, family members and/or close, personal friends; and whether there are income timing differences due to accrual versus cash basis of accounting. This white paper reviews these key items to look for and discusses expenses, liabilities and tax credits that may identify undisclosed assets.
