Sherlock Holmes with a calculator: Inside the world of forensic accounting with Alvarez & Marsal
Financial crime risks are rising across Asia, driven by market volatility, increased regulatory scrutiny and more sophisticated fraud techniques. A&M's expertise in forensic accounting, technology and compliance positions it as a pivotal player in helping companies conduct financial investigations and strengthen internal controls.
A&M Managing Director Henry Chambers was recently featured in AsianInvestor Wealth, offering insights into fraud trends, high-profile investigations and the increasing demand for robust financial crime prevention. Chambers explained that economic downturns typically see a surge in financial crimes as companies and individuals struggle to meet targets. "Market pressures create perfect conditions for fraud," he noted. Chambers described forensic accountants as “Sherlock Holmes with calculators,” Chambers said, highlighting the team’s ability to transform complex financial malfeasance into clear, actionable narratives. He also shared insights into A&M’s expanding work with Asia’s booming family office sector and the firm’s recent growth into financial crime prevention and compliance solutions, particularly for private equity firms and banks navigating the region’s complex regulatory landscape.
