When to bring in forensic accounting; and the quiet red flags that too often go unnoticed.
Fraud and leakage rarely announce themselves. They show up as small inconsistencies; a margin that drifts, a supplier that's a little too convenient, a reconciliation that never quite ties out.
Watch for margins that decline without an operational explanation. When revenue holds but profit erodes, something is leaking value between the two; and it's worth tracing.
Be wary of processes that depend on a single person, resist scrutiny, or lack a clear paper trail. Concentration and opacity are where risk hides.
Forensic accounting isn't only for crises. A periodic independent review quietly protects value, deters wrongdoing, and gives leadership confidence that the numbers can be trusted.
