Hi

We at PeopleChecking are a division of NorthgateArinso Information Solutions providing employment checks, CV check information and screening for firms interviewing candidates and who need in-depth results from a professional candidate screening software supplier.

A recent survey conducted by our firm estimated annually that UK businesses were collectively losing £2 billion offering jobs to employees who provided falsified information on their CVs.

That same employee screening survey showed 5% of jobseekers were later rejected following precise employment verification, including employee screening for references, work history details proven as untrue and, in some cases, damaging information uncovered via precise candidate screening software supplier checks.

Our CV check services provide employers with detailed employment checks including precise employment verification obtained through candidate references.

With your candidate’s permission we conduct precise employment checks only possible from us as an expert candidate screening software supplier. Our employment checks include a thorough employment verification covering work history and previous employers, qualifications and passport, driving licence and criminal checks.

Our employee screening services ensure you avoid costly recruitment errors and any time-consuming employment verification checks.

Another survey conducted by our organisation uncovered that 33% of firms claim they haven’t the time to conduct proper employee screening procedures such as employment checks on industry experience for each candidate. The same survey showed that 7.5 million UK jobseekers admitted to providing misleading information.

Thanks

Although traditionally the domain of revenue agents, the task of reconstructing an individual's income also may be performed by private accounting practitioners. In fact, providing litigation support through the practice of forensic or investigative accounting can become a significant and profitable part of one's practice.

For example, one party in divorce litigation may suspect hidden sources of income or concealed assets. In such cases, an analysis of spouse's personal finances through indirect methods may be enlightening. Similarly, a plaintiff may have won a judgment against a defendant in a contract or tort action and then found it difficult to locate assets against which the judgment may be satisfied. In this case, the services of a forensic accountant could be effective in locating the defendant's concealed assets.

This article will analyze the audit techniques used by Internal Revenue examiners in an effort to identify and described those methods that may prove useful to the private investigative accountant. Although these methods will be described from the IRS point of view, they can be adapted easily to almost any investigative assignment.

Chapter 800 of the Internal Revenue Manual, "Tax Guidelines for Internal Revenue Examiners," identifies two general approaches for determining income: the Direct (or Specific Item) Method and the various indirect methods.

thanks
