In this article, KordaMentha Forensic Partner and expert
investigator, Robert Cockerell, discusses some of his tried and
true methods of detecting deception.
I often work with internal auditors on investigations and have
achieved excellent results through combining the skills of the
highly trained internal auditor with the experienced
investigator.
Generally speaking, internal auditors have a great eye for the
telling detail. They also conduct focussed and balanced reviews,
and have exemplary report-writing skills.
When it comes to the domain of the interview, however, I have
noted some room for improvement, especially when considering the
hugely pivotal role the interview process can play in shedding
light on deception or fraud.
