Forensic Risk Alliance

Forensic Risk Alliance (FRA) is an international consultancy that combines deep forensic accounting, regulatory and investigative experience with cutting edge data mining technology to position global businesses for success as they navigate investigations, disputes and compliance challenges. With 12 locations and datacenters across the world, we have extensive cross-sector and cross-border experience and scalability anywhere in the world, harnessing the right mix of collaborative expertise for clients in both developed economies and emerging markets. We are regularly hired to provide expertise on some of the world's largest and high-stakes compliance matters in fraud, bribery, corruption, financial crime, sanctions, ESG, audit and accounting malpractice, and corporate transactions. We frequently work at the direction of counsel on global matters including complex multi-year investigations, collecting data from numerous accounting and electronic sources, analyzing complex transactions and advising clients in response to regulatory inquiries and monitorships. Regulators we have dealt with include the US Department of Justice (DOJ), US Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), the UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO), US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), as well as many other foreign regulatory authorities. While we possess financial and accounting skills in-house, we do not – unlike many of our competitors – offer traditional audit or accounting advice and are therefore largely conflict-free.
