Forensic Focus – September 08Strength through knowledge |
Publish date:
Welcome to the first edition of your Deloitte Forensics newsletter.
As you all know we have now transitioned across to Deloitte and I am happy to report, it has all gone very smoothly and we are now very much business as usual. The reaction to our merger has been overwhelmingly positive – thank you for the many messages of support.
The core of what we do has always been to find innovative ways of solving problems for our clients. One of the real attractions of joining Deloitte is the ability to tap into the global forensic practice. In Australia alone there are 21 partners and over 180 staff in the forensic practice.
We have already established links with our counterparts in Australia and throughout Asia and picked up a few great ideas that we will introduce to the New Zealand market. We have also been able to help out our Australian colleagues by sending a staff member to Australia to assist in a major corruption investigation.
We are delighted to announce the appointment of Sam Labone and Jon Pearse as managers to our forensic team. Sam joins us from ANZ National where he was the fraud manager and Jon joins us from the Electronic Crime Lab at the Police where he was a computer forensic analyst. The appointment of Sam and Jon increases our core forensic team to nine full-time specialists.
Lorinda Kelly and Barry Foster joined me in presenting a workshop at the inaugural NZ Institute of Chartered Accountants’ Forensic Accounting conference earlier this month. We touch on the investigation process we presented later in the newsletter.
We also feature the first wave of litigation from the finance company sector collapse. And, we look at the use of passwords to protect electronic documents, the ability to crack them and our current fertile fraud landscape in New Zealand.
