Founder's Profile
Home / Founder's Profile
Hello!
I’m Suzette Stadler, a Chartered Accountant with a Master’s degree in Forensic Accounting and over 15 years of hands-on experience in financial investigations. Throughout my career, I’ve specialized in forensic accounting services, helping organizations uncover irregularities, resolve disputes, and strengthen compliance frameworks across industries including mining, financial services, telecommunications, and the public sector.
My expertise spans forensic audits, corporate fraud investigations, internal fraud detection, and advising on AML compliance in complex, cross-border environments. I have also acted as a trusted forensic accounting expert witness, providing clear, defensible insights that support litigation and regulatory proceedings.
I established IFA Xperts to offer businesses, law firms, and individuals an independent, discreet resource for navigating sensitive issues - whether related to suspected fraud, workplace misconduct, or broader fraud risk assessments. My goal is simple: to deliver clarity, integrity, and confidence when the stakes are highest.
My expertise is grounded in:
-
Chartered Accountancy training and advanced financial analysis
-
A Master’s-level foundation in forensic accounting
-
Deep knowledge of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
-
Practical experience in fraud investigations, internal fraud detection, and workplace investigations
-
Advising on AML compliance, corporate fraud investigations, and fraud risk assessments
-
Cross-border insight spanning South Africa, Europe, and the UK
What sets us apart is a commitment to objectivity, technical excellence, and a nuanced understanding of the human and organizational dynamics behind financial and workplace issues.
I approach each matter with meticulous care because at the heart of every investigation, audit, or due diligence investigation lies a decision that affects people, reputations, and futures. If you need an experienced, objective professional to provide clarity on complex financial or compliance matters, I’m here to assist.
