I am looking for an experienced investigative journalist who can dig deep into a suspected case of financial fraud inside a corporation. I already have full access to all of the company’s financial statements, and these documents will be the primary evidence base for your work.

What I need from you is a methodical, source-driven investigation that can withstand legal and editorial scrutiny. You will pore over balance sheets, income statements, cash-flow reports, footnotes and any subsidiary ledgers, identifying inconsistencies, undisclosed liabilities or revenue manipulations. Where patterns emerge, you will trace them back to the relevant transactions, executives or departments, flagging any red flags and supporting each finding with verifiable documentation.

Your final deliverables should include:
• A detailed investigative report explaining each irregularity, the individuals or entities involved, and the potential regulatory implications.
• A clearly labelled evidence pack (spreadsheets, annotated PDFs, screenshots) that matches every point in the report.
• A concise executive summary that can be shared with editors or legal counsel.

Accuracy, discretion and a clear writing style are essential. Familiarity with forensic accounting tools such as Excel pivot tables, IDEA or ACL is welcome, but strong narrative skills are just as important. If you have previously broken financial-crime stories or uncovered accounting irregularities, let me know—your track record will weigh heavily in my decision.
