When you hear the term forensics, accounting is likely not the type of function that you might automatically associate, however forensic accounting Brisbane services exist.
Akin to the term forensics in criminology for legal matters, forensic accounting Brisbane services focus on aspects such as compliance with legal requirements through understanding the relevant legislation, regulatory frameworks and the financial obligations in Australian law as well as analysis and systematic review to identify the root cause of anomalies such as when a person or organisation is “cooking the books”.
When Forensic Accountants Brisbane team members investigate financial records, whether it be for legal matters or to ensure full compliance with laws or to determine if anomalies and records are being “cooked”, we understand both the legislation and how to interpret figures. It does not matter how comprehensive or in-depth your financial records are, our team of specialised Accountants dedicates their time and effort to reviewing the numbers, conducting a detailed analysis and identifying patterns. Austral Accountants’ team is deeply committed to ensuring that we do our very best to assist you with all your forensic accounting services as deemed required.
When we talk about the term “cooking the books”, the slang has a way of finding itself into the way of common language but in the world of Forensic Accountants Brisbane members or elsewhere in Australia, the phrase is critical to our understanding of anomalies and patterns of non-compliance within financial transactions and records. Since bookkeeping is a common practice in financial management for businesses and corporations to balance the books with accurate, efficient record-keeping, “cooking the books” literally comes down to what is going on – or wrong – with the financial records.
Perhaps, as a business or with management of a corporation, too many anomalies and erroneous data exist but you or your team are unable to determine what is occurring. Forensic accounting services with Austral Accountants assist you with digging deep into the books, conducting a thorough investigation with analysis and systematic review of all data. Despite the notion that engaging with forensic accounting Brisbane services might be costly, it is actually cost-effective; the important digging deep is to identify the root cause of issues.

Sometimes forensic accounting services are required for legal matters; this can be for determining or investigating compliance or for criminal matters if a crime has been committed in relation to financial transactions, record-keeping or obligations. In Australia, we have stringent laws regarding financial management of businesses and corporations as well as individuals, and not just in relation to taxation. Tax returns for individuals are an obligation as are lodgements such as Business Activity Statements (BAS) for businesses including Sole Traders yet there are many other financial legal requirements for businesses of any scale or size and corporations.
It is a crime to “cook the books” or allocate resources that are non-compliant with regulations to mention declaring business income. Underhanded or “cash” payments without being recorded through bookkeeping and accounting is illegal in Australia and Forensic Accountants Brisbane firm team members with Austral Accountants understand the legislation and how to pour through the books to determine any issues such as non-compliance or illegal business financial activities.
