When something doesn't add up, you need facts gathered carefully and kept confidential. We trace transactions, rebuild records and document what we find in a form that your lawyers, board or insurers can use.
Who this is for
- Owners who suspect theft, kickbacks or ghost vendors
- Partners or shareholders in dispute over the accounts
- Companies responding to a whistleblower report
- Legal counsel who need independent financial analysis
What the engagement covers
Discreet scoping
We agree what is suspected, who knows about it and how evidence will be preserved before anyone is approached.
Transaction tracing
We follow funds through bank statements, ledgers and supporting documents, and rebuild records where they are missing.
Data analytics
We screen full ledgers for duplicate payments, round-sum entries, unusual vendors and entries posted outside working hours.
Evidence-grade reporting
Our findings are documented with sources, quantified and written so that non-accountants can follow them.
What you receive
- Confidential investigation report
- Quantification of loss
- Evidence schedules and transaction trails
- Control recommendations to prevent a repeat
Frequently asked questions
How confidential is this?
Every investigation is under a strict engagement letter, and access is limited to the people you name. We can also be engaged through your legal counsel.
Can you act as an expert witness?
We can support litigation with financial analysis. Whether we can act as an expert in a given forum depends on its rules, and we will confirm that at the start.
