Forensic Accounting Experts Help Charlotte Businesses Control Risk

Advanced accounting services to support commercial litigation, enhance business processes, build an ethical corporate culture, and deter fraud

Charlotte, NC is much like the panther mascot of its pro football team: a stealthy cat, whose hunting prowess is underrated, but impressive. Charlotte has grown quietly over the last several decades to be the most populous city in the Carolinas and the sixth largest in the American South. The city’s success is not just a matter of demographics; Charlotte has flourished economically, attracting major banks and numerous tech companies. Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and Truist are Charlotte’s biggest financial catches, but Ally Financial, U.S. Bank, TD Bank, and Silicon Valley Bank have also fallen into Charlotte’s web, making her the second largest banking center in the United States after New York City. With that ranking come high standards for performance and consequences when performance falls short.North American Forensic Accounting believes that because performance matters, accurate accounting and ancillary services are of paramount importance. We offer expert services that aid in commercial litigation, regulatory compliance, insurance disputes, fraud investigation and prevention, and much more. Our certified experts draw on decades of experience related to forensic accounting, internal audit leadership, risk assessment, business valuations and a wide range of investigations. This expertise enables us to support various types of commercial and civil litigation, advise on transactions, test regulatory compliance, measure contract performance, and help companies build a more ethical company culture.

Industry-specific knowledge drives in-depth inquiries

When performing forensic accounting, compliance testing, or fraud investigations, our goal is to uncover details that might escape the notice of other professionals.

  • Manufacturing
  • Construction
  • Transportation and warehousing
  • Insurance

  • Nonprofits entities
  • Pharmaceutical sales
  • Retail
  • Banking and finance

Our practical experience enables us to scrutinize business records more critically and perform revealing interviews with your staff. In this way, we bring vulnerabilities to light, so we can propose effective remedies.

It’s impossible to engage in commerce without an occasional dispute. But when such disputes occur, you’ll quickly learn that Charlotte is not Mayberry.

In business, growth is the name of the game. When you set your sights on a business asset for acquisition, you need a reliable calculation of its present and future worth.

NAFA advanced accounting services help improve compliance to build better businesses

More than companies in any other industry, financial services companies need to look inward at their own business processes to avoid unnecessary losses and gain a competitive edge. How often in recent years have large banks suffered huge regulatory fines and penalties for critical missteps? At NAFA, we believe that the greatest threats to sustained growth come from within an organization. For that reason, our services focus on improving business processes and building a positive corporate culture. Drawing on decades of practice, we’ve developed initiatives that deter fraud, eliminate waste, and enhance compliance with complex regulations. Our forensic accounting experts can help your company improve business processes with services that include:

  • Contract compliance audits
  • Sarbanes-Oxley testing and Internal audit support
  • Compliance audits
  • Risk assessments
  • Internal investigations
  • Internal control assessments and remediation

With these services, NAFA can pinpoint your company’s stress points and vulnerabilities. We can then suggest process improvements, purchasing solutions and other remedies. If your company has struggled with regulatory compliance and internal fraud, NAFA can help you build an improved corporate culture where ethical behavior is expected. Thus, your company will be safer from fraud, waste, and sanctions for noncompliance. But you’ll also discover that your workers are more productive, and your company resources seem to go farther. Forget the conventional wisdom that ethical corporate cultures exist only in MBA textbooks. NAFA has helped numerous companies take clear and decisive steps toward a more ethical corporate culture. We can help you achieve that goal and reap the benefits.
