The structure of the Book is as follows:<br/><br/>Part One<br/><br/>Deals with the introduction of forensic audit and looks into the past, present and future of forensic audit. This part is presented to establish the foundation of the book.<br/>Part Two<br/><br/>Deals with important transactions pertaining to purchases of goods, sales and other major expenditures - which forms part of the statement of profit & loss account. Provisions and contingent liabilities are often used by an entity to cook the books of account and therefore, a separate chapter is presented on this issue.<br/>Part Three<br/><br/>The various items contained in the balance sheet, are a major part of the activities of any entity and therefore, is a major part of any forensic audit also. Therefore, in this part of the book, the following important activities of an entity’s are covered:<br/>Fixed (Hard) Assets – hard to spot<br/>Intangible Assets and Goodwill – neither visible nor real<br/>Capital Work In Progress (CWIP), Stock In Progress (SIP) and Stock – not seeing the light of day<br/>Piling Stock and Mounting Debtors – an evergreen technique for every-greening<br/>Investments – without objectives like a traveller without a destination<br/>Loans and Advances given – gone with the wind<br/>Equity and Shareholders – invisible ownership<br/>Part Four<br/><br/>Apart from specific activities of an entity, as covered in part two and three, there are some transactions that are special. These are considered as “Key Metrics” for the purpose of forensic audit and thus, covered in this part of the book, which includes:-<br/>Absence of confirmation of balances<br/>Off-balance sheet transactions<br/>Round-tripping etc.<br/>It is also common in forensic audit that full records are not made available to the auditors and thus, a separate chapter on “Dog ate my Accounts” is presented.<br/><br/>Part Five<br/><br/>For explaining the concept of forensic audit properly, a new Structure has been invented by the author - termed as “T-3 Structure” wherein:<br/>T-1 : Test<br/>T-2 : Trace and<br/>T-3 : Track<br/>With the help of a concept called “Look Forward – Look Backward” on T-3 Structure, how the successful forensic audit can be carried out is explained in a separate chapter, under the head “Look Forward – Look Backward”.<br/><br/>Part Six<br/><br/>Lastly, it is found that in various cases of fraud and misrepresentation of details in the financial statement, the Statutory Auditor were found to be the helping hand. As in forensic audit - responsibility has to be fixed and thereafter, a separate part itself for the role played by the statutory auditor - “Where were the Auditor’s - strange but true”. |
