Fraud & Asset Investigations
Following the money and the relationships behind it
Fraud rarely leaves a single clean trail. Our work combines financial documentation, corporate records, digital footprints and open-source research to help clients understand what happened and which options may be available.
Capabilities
How we can support a fraud or asset matter
Financial fraud investigations
Structured review of transactions, documents and communications that may help identify how a scheme operated and who was involved.
Asset tracing
Research that can support the identification of potential links between individuals, companies, accounts, digital assets and other property, subject to available evidence and applicable law.
Corporate fraud concerns
Support for internal enquiries into procurement irregularities, misappropriation, conflicts of interest and false reporting.
Identity verification
Verification research that may help confirm whether a counterparty, entity or representative is as presented.
Hidden relationship analysis
Mapping of corporate, personal and transactional connections that may not be apparent from filings alone.
Suspicious transaction review
Examination of transaction sequences, timing and counterparties to help clients understand patterns of concern.
Litigation support
Timelines, intelligence summaries, exhibits and analytical reports prepared for use by legal teams.
Cross-border investigative research
Coordinated research across jurisdictions, conducted within the legal requirements applicable in each.
Documentation and reporting
Findings recorded with sources, method and limitations so they can be reviewed and relied upon appropriately.
Investigative research may help identify relevant relationships, transactions and assets. What can be established is always subject to available evidence, applicable law, and the cooperation of third parties. Asset identification does not amount to recovery, and no specific outcome is guaranteed.
Where asset tracing can and cannot go
Public and commercially available records, corporate filings, litigation records, property registries and blockchain data can support a picture of holdings and relationships. Confidential banking information is not available to private investigators; where it is relevant, it is obtained through legal process by your counsel or by an authority.
We therefore work toward two ends at once: the analysis itself, and a documented basis for lawful requests that others may make. Being clear about that division at the outset avoids unrealistic expectations later.
Working with legal teams
Where a matter is heading toward litigation or a formal complaint, we shape output to suit: schedules of transactions, relationship charts, chronologies and exhibit-ready source material, each traceable to its origin. We do not provide legal advice and we do not make determinations that belong to a court.
