Forensic Accounting

The term “forensic” refers to the application of scientific methods and techniques in the investigation of a crime or a legal issue. Forensic accounting is often required when an issue is being litigated and a financial argument needs to be decided in a court of law.

SobelCo’s forensic accountants specialize in unraveling financial and compliance challenges for businesses, nonprofits, governmental entities and individuals, using precise processes and a systematic investigation of data.

Our forensic investigations go beyond the numbers to dig deeper, understanding the motivations and opportunities that enable individuals to commit corporate crime. We take pride in educating our clients on how to strengthen their organizations and mindsets to minimize future risk.
