Case studies

Government & Public Sector · Governance, Risk & Compliance

A company removed from the stock exchange

Risk exposed3×

unexplained balances, hundreds of millions of Egyptian pounds, against the company's current assets, set out for the authority

The question

A government office needed to understand the accounts of a company that had been removed from the stock exchange.

What we did

We re-added every sum in its financial statements and checked them against its filings and the public record.

What it showed

Liabilities above assets, receivables with no provision and balances with no explanation, set out in a review and a memo ready for the authority.

Fintech & Payments · Governance, Risk & Compliance

When a partner's accounts don't add up

Revenue foundHidden revenue

the partner had kept off its accounts, now documented for the company's claim

The question

A payments company doubted the yearly accounts of a partner in its agent network.

What we did

We matched the partner's financial statements, bank statements, profit-and-loss accounts and transaction logs, and ran pattern tests on the figures.

What it showed

Revenue the partner had not declared, salaries it had overstated and expenses with no documents. We closed with an exact inquiry letter to its accountants.
