Investigations

It seems that fraud has taken a permanent place in our daily business news. Hardly a day that goes by that there isn't a new story about a major financial or fraud scandal someplace in the world.

The cost of fraud is striking. Estimated at 6% of the Gross Domestic Product by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, fraud is a destroyer of shareholder value and is often very difficult to detect. Additional, the enormous financial impact of fraud doesn't fully take into account the lasting effects on the marketplace that accompany every new revelation.

PCG’s capabilities in the areas of fraud detection and prevention are firmly established and far reaching – and we have a superior track record. Our people are both auditors and investigators, or, as one Inspector General coined the term, “Audigators”.


Our capabilities in this area include:
  • Fraud Auditing
  • Investigations
  • Fraud Prevention

Forensic Accounting

PCG is often engaged to assist attorneys in unraveling complex business transactions and relationships.  We are experienced at helping attorneys ask the right questions and deal with the answers as well as assisting with developing an understanding of complex financial materials they obtain through discovery.

We also assist attorneys by acting as expert financial and fraud witnesses and with the preparation of trial exhibits that help juries grasp the essence of complicated sets of facts. Ultimately we help our clients reach the best outcome possible no matter the circumstances.
