Forensic Services Built for the Questions That Matter Most

In forensic work, experience is not measured by the number of engagements completed. It is measured by the rigorous methodology applied when the facts are complex and the findings will be challenged. Incidents of suspected fraud, financial misconduct or serious allegations need more than information. An organisation experiencing any of such incidents needs outcomes they can act on, defend and stand behind.

That principle underpins RRH’s forensic services practice. As an early mover in Bangladesh’s corporate risk landscape, RRH has built a multidisciplinary team of more than 70 professionals, including forensic accountants, fraud investigators, data analysts and digital forensic specialists. Complex matters rarely sit within a single discipline. By bringing these skills together under one roof, we can examine a problem from several angles at once and connect evidence that might otherwise be reviewed in isolation.

Our depth is most evident in financial services. RRH has acted as forensic consultants for more than 15 financial institutions, including leading banks and mobile financial service providers. These institutions operate in an environment of high transaction volumes, evolving regulatory expectations and heightened public trust, where a weakness in controls can carry serious consequences.

This experience includes a landmark investigation exceeding USD 200 million, which may be regarded as a first for Bangladesh. The engagement required advanced transaction reconstruction, digital forensics and complex data tracing. Matters of this scale test a firm’s methodology, its technical capability and its ability to present findings clearly to boards, regulators and other stakeholders. They also shape how we approach every engagement that follows.

Our work extends well beyond financial services. RRH serves clients in the ready-made garments, telecommunications, energy and international NGO sectors, each with its own risk profile, regulatory context and operating realities. Assignments include partnership due diligence, where understanding the integrity and capability of a counterparty is critical, and investigations into sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment (SEAH).

SEAH inquiries demand a particular standard of care. They call for sensitivity toward those involved, disciplined processes, and an understanding of the expectations that donors and governing bodies place on organisations. For international NGOs, how an inquiry is conducted can matter as much as it concludes.

RRH’s Digital Forensic Laboratory supports forensic imaging and eDiscovery, enabling us to preserve, process and analyse large volumes of electronic data in a structured way. In a world where the evidence of wrongdoing is increasingly digital, this capability is central to our work.

We view technology as an enabler of professional judgement, not a replacement for it. Tools can surface patterns and accelerate review, but it is experienced professionals who decide what matters, test the explanations and take responsibility for the conclusions.

RRH is a former KPMG member firm. It has a Master Services Agreement with a big4 network firm globally for certain services. This heritage informs us how we work, giving us exposure to internationally recognised approaches to forensic practice. We combine that perspective with a close understanding of Bangladesh’s regulatory environment, including direct engagement with Bangladesh Bank. Together, they allow us to provide advice that is both rigorous and grounded in how business and regulation operate in the country.

Our role does not begin and end with an investigation. While many clients first turn to us after an incident, an increasing number also ask for help earlier. We work with boards and senior management to design fraud risk frameworks, deliver training programmes and strengthen governance protocols. The aim is to help organisations prevent, detect and respond to risk with greater confidence, and to learn from matters that have already occurred.

This lifecycle perspective is a differentiator. It means the insights from an investigation can feed directly into stronger controls, and the controls we help design reflect what we have seen go wrong in practice.

For RRH, forensic excellence does not end with a report. It means giving organisations clear, defensible outcomes at the moments that matter most, whether that is a boardroom decision, a regulatory conversation or a dispute where every finding will be tested.
