Fraud investigation is a comprehensive examination conducted to uncover the truth behind suspicious activities, ensure accountability, and support legal or organizational actions against fraudulent parties.
Fraud within an organization may come in various forms, including criminal fraud for personal gain, conflicts of interest, business diversion, theft of assets or confidential information, embezzlement, corruption, bribery, collusion, and other misconduct. It can be committed by external parties or by employees, either independently or in collusion with external parties.
