Financial investigation

Our team has the ability to provide expert advice and full investigations to the following:
  • fraud – establishing the size of the fraud, and how the fraud occurred;
  • money laundering – tracing funds through many jurisdictions, establishing how the funds were laundered;
  • internal controls – identifying weaknesses and recommending improvements required;
  • fines/compensation – assessing the compensation that is due to investors following actions of a rogue trader, and negotiating about the appropriate level of fine to be imposed through breaches of regulatory requirements;
  • professional negligence – claims made against auditors (on both liability and quantum issues) where the company has suffered from sophisticated frauds perpetrated, and inadequate loan provisions;
  • forensic training – provided training courses on best practice forensic investigation techniques (manual and computer methods) and evidence handling (preserving the chain of evidence); and
  • computer forensics – imaging of computers, recovering deleted files and e-mails, analysis in context of fraud or money laundering investigation.
