Fraud Investigation
Before conducting a fraud investigation, a financial investigator will consult with the client to discuss their situation and determine what assistance is needed.
The initial inquiries by the investigative team — led by a Certified Fraud Examiner — will focus on verifying whether there is material evidence of financial fraud.
Relevant records are gathered and analyzed. The nature of the scheme is explored and the extent of financial losses are documented. If the fraud is ongoing, specific controls and countermeasures may be recommended to protect the client from the threat of further damages.
If the responsible parties refuse to return the client’s funds, the findings of the fraud investigation can be coordinated with legal counsel, law enforcement and regulatory authorities. The expert investigation report becomes a critical tool for civil litigation and criminal prosecution, providing an easy-to-follow roadmap of complex schemes, bolstered by the testimony of a licensed investigator.
