Forensic auditing is a highly specialized service used to investigate financial discrepancies, suspected fraud, or internal misconduct. At Cortez & Associates, we provide detailed forensic accounting services that go beyond traditional bookkeeping or tax preparation—we dig deep into the numbers to uncover the truth. Whether you’re dealing with potential embezzlement, financial misstatements, or a legal dispute involving financial records, our team brings the experience and objectivity needed to resolve the matter with clarity and precision.

We conduct thorough examinations of financial documents, transactions, internal controls, and accounting systems to identify irregularities, unauthorized activity, or areas of risk. Our reports are meticulously prepared and can be used for internal investigations, court proceedings, or insurance claims. In legal matters, we can also assist with litigation support, expert witness testimony, and communicating our findings in a clear and defensible way.

This service is often sought by business owners, attorneys, nonprofits, or stakeholders who suspect something is off—but don’t know where to begin. If you’re seeing unexplained losses, inconsistent reports, or behavior that raises concern, our forensic audits provide the insight and documentation you need to take appropriate action.

At Cortez & Associates, we approach every forensic audit with discretion, integrity, and a commitment to uncovering the facts—because in situations like these, the truth isn’t optional.
