Private and public-sector organizations, international bodies and not-for-profit organizations today face an increasingly challenging environment.

      Stricter regulations, a growing volume and variety of data and advancements in technology, especially in AI are raising expectations around transparency, accountability and performance.As a result, organizations are subject to greater scrutiny from regulators, stakeholders and the public.

      At the same time, this pressure can create opportunities for fraudulent or harmful behavior. Individuals and organizations may resort to contentious or inadequate practices to meet rising demands. When allegations of misconduct surface, or when financial and reputational risks become immediate threats or disputes escalate, independent forensic support becomes essential.

      KPMG Switzerland’s forensic consulting team combines advanced forensic technology, investigation expertise and in-depth regulatory knowledge to help organizations prevent issues and respond effectively when they arise. Our cross-sector expertise allows us to address diverse client needs, whether safeguarding corporate value and reputation, providing assurance to public organizations and their funding bodies or supporting litigants in disputes.

      Our core forensic capabilities

      Forensic technology


      Modern forensic work is driven by data. Large volumes of information are spread across systems, devices and jurisdictions, often in different formats and languages.

      Our Forensic Technology capabilities form the foundation of our forensic services. We use advanced analytics, digital forensics and AI-supported tools to collect, process and analyse data in a secure and defensible way.

      This allows us to identify patterns, uncover anomalies and establish facts quickly – even in complex, cross-border matters.

      Our technology-enabled approach helps organizations respond faster, make informed decisions and meet regulatory and legal expectations.

      Investigations


      When prevention measures fail or allegations arise, organizations need to act quickly and decisively.

      KPMG Switzerland supports clients across independent and legally robust investigations, including fraud, bribery and corruption, regulatory inquiries and internal misconduct cases.

      We work closely with legal counsel and management to establish facts, assess risks and support next steps.

      Our investigations combine deep forensic experience with advanced technology. This ensures findings are reliable, well-documented and ready to withstand regulatory scrutiny, legal proceedings and stakeholder expectations.
