Accountants firm PKF says that its forensic accounting experts have developed a 
software programme which will help charities detect fraud.
The programme, called
PKF Finder, enables charities to search their purchase ledger data to help pinpoint
suspicious activities such as duplicate invoices and VAT irregularities.

Charles Cox, partner and head of charities at PKF said: “The majority of business
fraud is committed by employees and almost half by senior management. PKF Finder
can track down overpayments to suppliers, errors in VAT treatment and indicators
of potential fraud.”

 

 

Even if no fraud is present, PKF Finder can still help identify potential cost savings
from duplicate payments and VAT mis-postings and provide key management information
on purchase ledgers.
