Fraud Investigation – Involvement instrumental in successful outcome

“I knew that something wasn't right. Working long hours, company was profitable, but we always had cash flow issues.

Our accountant recommended we engage Steven Ponsonby from Forensic Accounting QLD to put the books under the microscope. The Forensic Accounting Qld investigation uncovered significant anomalies resulting from a number of fraudulent transactions at the hands of a staff member.

The matter was promptly referred to the QPS and on Steven’s recommendation, a solicitor was engaged to commence civil proceedings for recovery of the misappropriated monies. The swift and prompt action of Steven and his team allowed us to achieve full restitution of the misappropriated payments quantified and payments for interest and legal costs.

If we hadn’t engaged the services of Forensic Accounting QLD, I doubt that we would have achieved such an excellent outcome in such a short timeframe. We really appreciated the professional and fresh approach adopted by Steven and his team at Forensic Accounting QLD and would have no hesitation in recommending their services.”

I did not know where to go for assistance after my employer introduced a flawed payroll system. I sent a simple email to Forensic Accounting QLD asking Steven Ponsonby if he could assist me. My payslips reflected a complex award with hours worked, overtime, recall and allowances. I simply handed over my "Dingo Roadhouse" plastic box containing payslips, my own records, calendar and diaries of shifts worked to Steven and his team. Steven was accessible at all times.

Nothing was too hard. After a few weeks, I had answers clearly and easily presented to me. I now have closure. I found the fees reasonable for the services provided. It proved to me in letting the experts do their job, I could focus on doing the work I enjoy.
