Dr. Rajeev Jain - Internal Audit, Investigation and Forensic

Internal Auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization's operations.

It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes."

IAS specializes in the detection and deterrence of a side variety of fraudulent conduct; from discovering employees or executives who misappropriate company assets to fraudulent allegations and accusation in employee practices liability. These concerns may include, but are not limited to:

• Misappropriation of funds
• Property loss
• Inventory loss
• Proprietary information misuse
• Company policy violations
• Employee practices liability allegations
• Corporate compliance violations
• Insurance liabilities

Our Forensic Accounting unit applies accounting, auditing and other methods to the factual issues in a case. Forensic accounting techniques may be used to establish causation of damages, uncover hidden assets or fraudulent conveyances, detect fraud or embezzlement or locate documentary evidence

Many cases are won or lost during the discovery phase of litigation. Our forensic accountants can offer valuable assistance in the discovery process. Our knowledge enables us to advise lawyers and corporate executives about the types of business records to request and secure in connection with a forensic investigation. We also offer assistance in the preparation of interrogatories, document requests or deposition questions designed to elicit relevant information.

Once the information is obtained, our team can analyze it, explain its significance and recommend further avenues of discovery. This practical approach produces realistic results that are more readily understood and accepted by the Trier of fact. In addition, our work is regulated by rigorous professional standards and quality control measures.

Our professionals are uniquely qualified to provide financial expertise. Our team of specialists includes Certified Public Accountants, Certified Fraud Examiners, Certified Information Systems Auditors, Certified Valuation Analysts and professionals Accredited in Business Valuation who have been involved with and provided testimony for complex commercial litigation.
