Forensic Accounting Analytics: Methods and Techniques

This extensive text, drawn from a book on forensic analytics, provides a comprehensive overview of methods and techniques used in forensic accounting investigations. It details the practical application of software like Microsoft Access, Excel, and PowerPoint for data analysis and reporting, emphasizing queries as a fundamental tool in Access for filtering, grouping, and joining data across tables. A significant portion is dedicated to Benford's Law, explaining its application in detecting anomalies and biases through tests like the first-two digits, second-order, and summation analysis. The text also introduces other techniques such as the Relative Size Factor (RSF) test for identifying disproportionately large amounts within subsets, the Same-Same-Different (SSD) test for finding potentially split transactions, and the use of correlation and time-series analysis to identify irregular patterns and predict future trends. Finally, the document explores risk-scoring methodologies as a means of continuous monitoring and fraud detection, illustrating their application in various scenarios including financial statement analysis and purchasing card audits.
