What is fraud investigation?
Fraud investigation is the process of investigating suspected fraud to determine whether fraud actually occurred, how it was committed, who was involved and what damage it caused. Fraud is a form of fraud where someone deliberately provides wrong information or conceals certain information with the aim of gaining financial or material advantage at someone else's expense.
Fraud investigations are often conducted by specialized investigators, such as forensic accountants, internal auditors, private investigators, or fraud investigators who work for government agencies or companies.
