What is the difference between an accounting audit and a fraud audit?
Accounting Audit: An accounting audit is conducted by a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and focuses on verifying the accuracy and completeness of a company’s financial statements. The primary goal is to ensure compliance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and other regulatory requirements. During an accounting audit, the CPA assesses internal controls, tests financial transactions, and provides an opinion on the financial statements’ accuracy.
​
Fraud Audit: A fraud audit, conducted by a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), focuses specifically on identifying and investigating fraudulent activities within an organization. The primary goal is to detect and prevent fraud, rather than to ensure compliance with accounting standards. During a fraud audit, the CFE examines financial records, interviews relevant personnel, and analyzes transaction patterns to uncover any signs of fraud. The process is more investigative in nature and aims to identify vulnerabilities and recommend measures to prevent future fraud.
​
In summary, while an accounting audit seeks to verify the accuracy of financial statements, a fraud audit aims to uncover and prevent fraudulent activities within an organization.
