Corporate wrongdoing is often connected with false financial reporting and underlying accounting. Overstatements of revenue and earnings, understating expenses, and other material misstatements of financial performance misleads investors and the public.

Investigative accounting takes experience with fraud cases and a trained eye to identify the fraud. Investment losses due to fraud can be avoided with extra homework and due diligence by professionals with both legal and accounting know-how.
