When financial integrity is in doubt, PYA brings the experience, precision, and speed to uncover the truth. We know how to move quickly and deliberately — gathering facts, tracing transactions, and clarifying complex financial data so leadership and counsel can act with confidence. Our forensic accounting team combines technical skill with clear communication, ensuring every finding can stand up under pressure.
As an independent, privately owned firm, PYA is built to deliver conclusions grounded solely in facts, not external influence. Our team applies disciplined methodology to bring transparency and clarity to uncertain situations, whether supporting internal investigations, litigation, or regulatory response. We work closely with executives, boards, and legal teams to present findings that are defensible, documented, and actionable.
PYA views every engagement as an opportunity to strengthen financial oversight for the future. We continually study fraud patterns, control breakdowns, and governance risks to help organizations prevent issues before they escalate. Through our thought leadership and client education, we share practical insights that equip decision-makers to make informed, forward-looking choices long after the investigation is complete.
A focused forensic review may be useful when an organization faces allegations of fraud, financial irregularities, disputed financial activity, a complex multi-site asset tracing matter, or a concern involving an isolated employee. Forensic work can also support transaction due diligence, litigation, regulatory response, and financial fraud prevention.
Asset tracing reviews financial records, transactions, and related documentation to identify, follow, and understand the movement of assets. It can help connect financial activity across a complex matter and give executives, boards, or legal counsel a clearer, documented view of what the records show.
Forensic findings should be grounded in facts, supported by disciplined methodology, and communicated clearly. The analysis should document the work performed, clarify financial data and transactions, and be presented in a form that can withstand scrutiny in an internal investigation, litigation, or regulatory response.
An internal investigation can use forensic accounting to gather facts, trace transactions, and analyze financial activity. When a matter moves into litigation, the same disciplines may support dispute analysis, documented findings, and expert testimony. The work should remain objective and focused on the specific financial question.
A fraud risk assessment is forward-looking, while a forensic investigation examines past incidents. The assessment focuses on fraud-specific threats, existing controls, likelihood and impact, and gaps that require a response. Potential triggers include mergers or acquisitions, rapid growth, leadership transitions, new systems, and a recent fraud incident.
