Investigative auditing

Unsourced neologism apparently invented by this article's first editor. (Compare username with the name cited in the last paragraph.) Only 309 Google hits, the vast majority of them related to the editor's firm. Article was prodded but prod was removed by another single-purpose account.

 * Delete: a rather vague and promotional sounding article, likely devised to promote a business using this term. Suggest redirect to forensic accounting, which would appear to be a more standard and well accepted name for a similar subject. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:52, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article lacks reliable sources to show usage. We should not be introducing a new term in Wikipedia that is not widely used elsewhere, per Avoid neologisms.  EdJohnston (talk) 01:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as neologism. Surely all auditing is investigative. Isn't that the whole point of it? Phil Bridger (talk) 15:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - blatant vanispamcruftisement. MER-C 08:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
