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.”

Forensic Accounting assistance to Lyn Van Kampen

"You have been terribly kind and helpful which is so rare these days.

So I just wanted to say thank you so much. If ever anyone ever needs a forensic accountant, I will definitely be singing your praises from the highest mountain.

Thank you so much for taking time to respond to me always and making me feel better, even though I could never get what I needed. You are a special human being."

Mr Ponsonby and his team at Forensic Accounting QLD continue to impress us with their efficient and professional manner towards their clients and work. A significant point of difference to other forensic accountants is that their client's matters are dealt with practically, within agreed timeframes and the result delivered for a realistic fee.
Mr Ponsonby and his team at Forensic Accounting QLD are always a pleasure to work with and their knowledge in the forensic field is invaluable. We would recommend their involvement on any forensic level to assist with achieving a professional result.

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.

 

I’ve been working with Steven for over 10 years, first as a colleague, and after as a Specialist in the Forensic Accounting space. Engaging the right person for the right task is a key driver in securing a thorough and appropriate understanding of anything. I engage Steve because he is always thorough, but commercial, gives precise reasonings and workings/commentary that allows me to review and understand his findings. He takes the time to assess the role, ensures he is value adding and is always professional in his approach to what are often sensitive matters that can have material and traumatic financial outcomes.
