Fraud, Forensics & Litigation

Take the worry out of doing business.

Overcharges. Employee theft. Contract violations. Fraud has always been a concern for contractors. But recent technological advances such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and internet-enabled machinery have opened a new realm of potential risk and exposure.

At HORNE, we help you address the risk and impact of fraudulent actions. By harnessing the same technology advances that threaten your profitability, we can develop controls to prevent fraud. And should the need arise, we have the experience needed to pinpoint damages and present clear, concise findings to the court.

The world is full of risks. We’ll help you find ways to combat them.

Fraud Controls

Unfortunately, a certain percentage of employees, vendors or customers will commit fraud. While the decision is theirs, the opportunity is often the result of poor internal controls.

We can reduce your exposure and mitigate risk by helping you put safeguards in place. By implementing proper processes, best practices and internal controls, you can reduce the opportunity for fraud and protect your assets.

Litigation Support

Contract disputes. Civil actions. White collar crime. Divorce. Estate settlements. Litigation that involves your business assets requires a clear representation of your holdings and their value. Our knowledge of both accounting and construction can be a tremendous asset in litigation.

We help you accurately demonstrate your claim by investigating issues, gathering documents, performing financial analysis and data analytics, and conducting interviews to provide expert testimony.
