We apply a multi-disciplinary approach to investigations, drawing on skills and experience of investigators, forensic accountants and forensic computer specialists. Our experts, who include Certified Fraud Examiners, combine extensive practical experience and formal training with a wide range of tools and techniques to detect and investigate fraud.
Even when a potential fraud has been identified, many law enforcement agencies require the victims of fraud to undertake initial investigations themselves. This can include quantifying losses and identifying potential suspects. Most victims of fraud, both individuals and companies, do not have the expertise, ability or resources to undertake such investigations.
The decision to recover any assets misappropriated will be influenced by a wide range of issues, including the size of the losses, whether the target of any recovery action has sufficient assets to warrant a claim, as well as the location of those assets and whether there's a desire to avoid publicity. We can assist clients in this decision making process and in pursuing any resulting recovery actions.
