Financial analysis is the process of evaluating businesses, projects, budgets and individuals to determine their performance and suitability. Typically, financial analysis is used to analyze whether an entity is stable, solvent, liquid or profitable enough to warrant a monetary investment. When looking at a specific company or a Person of Interest, a financial officer conducts analysis by focusing on the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement.
In today’s highly competitive business environment, financial officers need more from Finance than accurate financial statements and reports. They need forward-looking, predictive insights that can help detect fraudulent activity and improve decision-making in real time.
A financial investigation is analysis of where money comes from, how it moves and how it is used.
In most cases, financial analysis revolves around collection and analysis of financial data. The collection aspect involves searching through a variety of financial documents.
Bank fraud is the use of potentially illegal means to obtain capital, assets, or other property owned or held by a financial institution, or to obtain money from depositors by fraudulently posing as a bank. In many cases, bank fraud is a criminal offence. RBI has elaborate set of early warning signals (EWS) for banks to curtail frauds. However, there are inadequate tools and technology in place to detect such EWS pertaining to different frauds.
