Fraud and Litigation Support

Identifying fraud is only the first step. What follows are sensitive recovery activities that include conducting a comprehensive investigation, pre-suit considerations, the litigation itself. All of which must be managed precisely so a judgment or restitution award is ultimately collected.

We provide litigation support and expert witness testimony for situations requiring a professional recognized by the court as having expert knowledge about evidence. We provide extensive experience in financial, accounting, tax, and regulatory issues.

An effective fraud prevention program begins with a holistic assessment that identifies and tests existing internal controls. The resulting report will identify, analyze, and evaluate risks, giving your organization’s controlling body the necessary information to update or develop internal controls.

Modern fraud investigations often required highly-specialized skill managing electronic devices and evidence trails. Our Forensic Services team has experience capturing, authenticating and analyzing data, evidence, or information from electronic devices.

Kickback schemes are one of the most common, and difficult to identify, forms of fraud. Because kickback schemes aren’t easily observed in an organization’s books and records, the procedures require an investigator who thoroughly understands the industry and notices discrete red flags indicating a bribery or kickback arrangement.

Identifying employee fraud and misuse is a sensitive matter that can be conducted by “following the money” to both collect evidence of the crime, identify leads in the investigation, and ultimately identify assets subject to forfeiture.

Premeditated misrepresentation, misstatement, or omission of financial statement data to misrepresent the financial strength of an organization is a common, difficult to trace, fraudulent activity requiring specialized investigative techniques.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and UK Bribery Act, are examples of anti-bribery and corruption regulations related to uncovering fraudulent practices in domestic and overseas operations. Our Forensic Services team offers invaluable knowledge of these regulations that enables us to identify and resolve sensitive, complex regulatory issues.

In one of life’s most difficult situations, we provide guidance supporting attorneys and their clients to quantify economic losses in damage suits as well as identifying assets and income streams in matrimonial matters.
