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’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.

We used Steven's forensic accounting skills to assist two clients who were facing deregistration by the Building Services Authority .

Steven produced a comprehensive, clear report which showed exactly what it was intended to, and was highly persuasive in demonstrating to the BSA that our clients had acted reasonably in their dealings with the failed company.

The desired result was achieved, at a cost which the clients felt represented a good investment in protecting their ability to continue to trade as builders.

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 can say that in my clients most desperate need for swift and reliable expertise in the area of forensic accounting and reporting, Steven made himself and his team available around the clock to ensure that the Court received the most compelling and objective forensic report on the state of my clients’ financial health. This played a significant role in securing my clients future. Steven and his team can only be commended for the exceptional professionalism they displayed in doing what needed to be done in what can only be described as very strict timeframes.
