Confirm every figure and supporting document I captured, and flag or correct anything I missed. • Conduct a full-2 year forensic review of the2024 and 2025 Operating and Reserve bank statements. .We are most concerned about deposits and credits, with particular attention to: – Unusual deposits – Duplicate entries – Any withdrawals that appear irregular or out of policy • Where a questionable entry traces back to DRM’s internal process, document how the transaction was authorized in Avid Strongroom so we can determine whether the issue is procedural or fraudulent. DELIVERABLES: 1.

A closing summary that quantifies any potential exposure and recommends next steps for the Board. TIMING & TOOLS: I’d like the engagement to kick off within the next 30 days. Remote access to read-only Strongroom exports and the 2024 AND 2025 bank statements will be provided immediately after we execute an NDA. Familiarity with audit tools such as IDEA, ACL, or Power Query is a plus, but your ability to trace transactions inside Avid Strongroom is paramount. I’m available to clarify details as needed.

Hi, I am a Chartered Accountant and MBA with over 15 years of experience in forensic accounting, fraud review, and HOA/real-estate related financial oversight. I specialize in providing independent, evidence-based reviews of third-party managed accounts to help boards identify irregularities and restore confidence. For your engagement, I will re-examine the four vendor invoices pulled from Avid Strongroom, validating every figure against source documentation and identifying any omissions or errors. I will then conduct a full two-year forensic review of 2024 and 2025 operating and reserve bank activity, with focused testing on unusual deposits, duplicate entries, and withdrawals that appear irregular or outside policy. Where questionable transactions trace back to the management company’s internal processes, I will document the authorization trail within Avid Strongroom to distinguish procedural gaps from potential fraud. Deliverables will include a clear exception report with cross-referenced evidence, provided in an editable format suitable for board review and follow-up. Looking forward to working with You! Thank You BR Lakmal

Hi, I provide independent forensic accounting reviews for HOAs and property-managed entities, with a focus on deposit integrity, duplicate activity, and policy-compliant disbursements. My background includes HOA operating and reserve account analysis, vendor invoice verification, and transaction tracing within third-party management platforms, delivering clear board-ready findings rather than generic audit output. For this engagement, I would validate your preliminary four-invoice review directly against Avid Strongroom source records and supporting documents, correcting or expanding findings where required. I would then perform a two-year forensic analysis of 2024 and 2025 operating and reserve bank statements, applying transaction-level testing to identify unusual deposits, duplicate credits, and irregular withdrawals. Where exceptions arise, each item is traced back through Strongroom authorization workflows to determine whether the root cause is procedural weakness or potential misconduct. Deliverables include a concise exception register cross-referenced to bank lines and Strongroom entries, a documented vendor invoice verification memo with evidentiary support, and a closing exposure summary with practical recommendations for Board action. The work is structured, defensible, and suitable for governance, legal, or regulatory follow-up if required. Regards, Asif Al Balushi
