Investigated a misappropriation of assets claim

We were retained by the owners of a professional services company to investigate the extent to which a former employee had misappropriated assets. Our investigation included email reviews, computer forensics, credit card and bank statement analysis, purchase and expense report analysis, and interviews. Throughout our investigation, we coordinated with outside counsel, as well as with the company’s financial and tax accountants. We then briefed the company’s owners, and, at the request of the owners, federal law enforcement on our findings. Last, we provided fraud risk-prevention best practices to the owners to mitigate future losses.
