Fraud and Forensic Accounting Services
No nonprofit is immune to the risk of fraud — and an incident can be costly. The median loss from fraud was $85,000 at religious, charitable, and social service organizations studied in the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners’ (ACFE) Occupational Fraud 2024: A Report to the Nations. Fraud can also have a long-term impact on an organization’s reputation and public trust.
CapinCrouse can help. We have been exclusively serving nonprofit organizations for over 50 years and have an in-depth understanding of the unique fraud risks nonprofits face. Our team of fraud and forensic accounting specialists includes experienced Certified Fraud Examiners and accountants trained to work with nonprofits and conduct forensic engagements.
