How a professional CPA can prevent you from the ruin of accidental fraud

Here at Leadingham Rodgers’ Montgomery office, our CPAs pledge to optimize your savings and cash flows. The tax code offers many avenues toward accomplishing this while abiding the letter of the law. Nothing could be more important than organizing your finances in compliance with state and federal guidelines, which is precisely why you need a top-quality CPA. Mistakes can and will be interpreted as dishonesty. 

In today’s blog, we are going to discuss how our CPAs here at Leadingham Rodgers can help you avoid accidental fraud. 

What Is Accidental Fraud?

Fraud comes in many forms. Most of the time it results from bad actors who intend to deceive for their personal gain. But individuals and businesses will also commit accidental fraud. That might sound like a harsh way of defining ‘accident’. 

You might be thinking that this doesn’t sound like as big a deal as us accountants make it out to be. You didn’t mean to defraud anyone. Our CPAs have seen it too many times: inputting the wrong information on financial transactions or failing to report taxable earnings on annual tax filings will get you into a world of hurt.

Leadingham Rodgers provides a vast array of fraud protection services. From forensics accounting to audits of all shapes and sizes, our CPAs will ensure that you steer clear of any regulatory infractions or unforced errors.

Starting With The Fundamentals

Though we eschew formulaic and redundant methods, our professional CPAs here at Leadingham Rodgers start with the basic fundamentals. Two of the major approaches to accidental fraud are:

• Forensic Accounting leverages the details of past bookkeeping, transactions, and other filings to find the truth about an accounting error. Using these details, our CPAs create a timeline that provides the measure of damage or loss;
• Audits provide thorough review and analysis of a business’ accounts over a specified period of time. Audits differ from forensics in their scope. While forensics may attempt to explain a single error, an audit may be performed after the discovery of an error to get a clear picture of the company’s entire financial history.

The absence of these strategies can turn a small error (resolved before annual tax filing) into an instance of accidental fraud reported well after April 15th. Your business can’t depend on an accounting firm with an assembly line of novice CPAs without real-world experience. 

Top Quality Accounting Requires Innovative Strategies

However, unlike most firms, Leadingham Rodgers isn’t wedded to generic strategies. And our industriousness begins with our team.
