Financial Investigation
A practical starting point
Where did the money go, and what evidence supports the answer?
An unexplained payment or missing balance is a starting point for investigation, not proof of misconduct. Financial investigation needs a defined question, a relevant time period, and records that can be traced back to their source.
We organize transaction evidence, reconcile the available records, and distinguish supported findings from gaps or competing explanations. Collection should be authorized and coordinated with counsel when appropriate. Preserve original files and avoid changing records simply to make an anomaly disappear.
What to agree before work begins
Define the investigation boundaries and intended audience. Findings should identify supporting records, calculation methods, unresolved questions, and limitations without overstating what the evidence proves.
