Fraud and Financial Investigations: Protecting Your Bottom Line
Financial fraud affects organizations of every size and costs billions each year. From embezzlement and vendor kickbacks to identity theft and Ponzi schemes, these schemes erode both profits and trust. Licensed investigators play a critical role in uncovering fraud, preventing further damage, and gathering evidence that holds up in court.
Common types of fraud
Corporate embezzlement: Employees manipulate accounts, divert funds, or falsify invoices.
Insurance and healthcare fraud: Exaggerated injuries, false billing, and staged losses increase costs across the system.
Investment scams: Promoters misrepresent returns or operate pyramid schemes designed to deceive investors.
How investigations work
Investigators begin by analyzing financial records for inconsistencies. Background checks on key individuals, examinations of vendor relationships, and monitoring of digital communications reveal irregular patterns. Surveillance and interviews confirm findings, while digital forensics recovers deleted emails or files. Once evidence is compiled, investigators provide comprehensive reports and, when needed, testify in court.
