Financial Fraud Losses

Financial fraud may be committed by an individual or individuals inside or outside of a company that may result in financial distress or possibly the inability of the company to continue as a going concern.

Attorneys, Trustees, Receivers, Corporate Monitors, Insurance Companies, and various Government Entities typically will call upon a forensic accountant to follow the money involving various fraud schemes including Ponzi schemes, bankruptcy fraud, securities fraud, insurance fraud, grant fraud, money laundering, and corporate embezzlements.

Procedures to determine how the fraud occurred and to quantify the economic damages may include:

• Interviews of Key Financial Officers and Accounting Personnel, as well as Internal & External Auditors.
• Review of source documentation such as invoices, approved vendor lists, canceled checks, payroll records, deposits records, bank statements, general ledgers, unusual journal entries, income tax returns, financial statements analysis, bank reconstructions, analysis of emails, corporate searches of related parties or conflicts of interest and shell entities, and other applicable data analytics.
• Review of internal controls, including recommendations to the Board or Designated Oversight Entity for noted material deficiencies and methods of potential asset recovery.
