Review of ATO Assessment – Objection allowed in full

"Hi, Steven

Just want to let you know that after 10 months of the processing, ATO had just informed me that my objection has been allowed in full.

I just want to express my appreciation for your help and your report is the key to this final resolution."

We suspected a fraud in our business by the administration manager and needed to engage the services of a Certified Fraud Examiner to investigate. We decided to engage the services of Steven Ponsonby from Forensic Accounting Qld to undertake the investigation. The investigation confirmed our suspicions. The fraud report prepared conveyed the evidence in a clear and concise manner, within a quick turnaround time, that greatly assisted the authorities in successfully achieving prosecution.

We were successful in achieving full restitution of the misappropriated monies and a custodial sentence was handed down for the various fraudulent transactions that were committed over a lengthy time period.

It was evident that Steven is very passionate about stamping out fraud in the work place, thereby stopping the knock on affects it has in the broader community. The professional fees charged by Forensic Accounting Qld were very reasonable and reflected the work required to be undertaken. I highly recommend Steven and his team to anyone finding themselves in a similar situation.

I have had the opportunity of retaining Steven Ponsonby to value businesses on a number of occasions. As a family lawyer I deal with price sensitive clients who are often closely acquainted with the businesses that Steve must look into. I require a valuer who can communicate clearly and in detail, who can field client queries and who can respond quickly and succinctly.

In my experience, Steve provides that service. In each matter which I have retained Steve, I have received a detailed report in quick time, at the price quoted (which itself is literally half that of the competition). Most importantly for me, my clients were content with the service, even when they did not get the result they were looking for. That they accepted the report is evidence in itself of Steve's clear and complete approach to the valuation and his excellent communication style.

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.”
