This article takes an in-depth look at how forensic auditing has changed in Mexico between 2020 and 2025. To understand this, a wealth of research and official data from the last five years was analyzed and connected. The curious and somewhat frustrating thing is that, although cases such as the Estafa Maestra (Master Scam) made it clear that this tool works wonders, in practice it is hardly ever used: a figure to bear in mind is that only 0.6% of public audits are of this type. In the end, what was found is that, although artificial intelligence and blockchain are coming on strong to help detect fraud, there is still a long way to go in terms of technology and better preparing professionals to stop seeing this as an expense and see it as the investment it really is.
