FORENSIC ACCOUNTING AND FRAUD INVESTIGATION SERVICES
Data Processing
& Analysis
Using our proprietary data processing and analysis tools, we digitize and process financial information into tabular formats for further analysis. All of our data processing services include the results of data analytics findings in a summary report format.
Tracing Money &
Finding Assets
Through data analysis of financial records (personal or business) and open source intelligence, we assist clients in answering the questions "Where did money come from and where did it go?" Tracing money and finding assets services include a summary of the findings, or formal report, and corresponding charts, tables, or graphs as necessary.
Quantify
Losses
Through data analysis of financial records, we quantify losses associated with missing money in divorce, estates and trusts, embezzlement, shareholder disputes, and bankruptcy. Our data-driven process is highly effective in quantifying and verifying the loss calculated by the prosecutor in criminal defense cases. This service includes a summary of our findings, or formal report, and supporting exhibits.
Case Management &
On-Going Support
Our expert case managers are here to keep you informed throughout the engagement and to answer your questions throughout the life of your case.
WHAT IS THE DATA SLEUTH PROCESS?
Forensic accounting procedures and fraud investigations involve very thorough, detailed, evidence-driven processes that compare “what happened” to “what should have happened”. It is at this intersection that missing money is found and clarity emerges from confusion.
The Data Sleuth Process was developed by Workman Forensics to formalize our unique data-driven process that utilizes the combination of forensic accounting procedures and data analytics. The Data Sleuth Process allows our expert data analysts and forensic accountants to quantify the amount and identify the means by which money has gone missing. The Data Sleuth Process is founded on traditional investigative methods enhancing them with thoroughness and efficiencies gained using the best data sources and evidence. This type of analysis combined with personal case management, the power of technology, and the collective expertise of our professional team provides the best, most accurate, simple results that help our clients find what they are are missing.
It is through this process that our Data Sleuths follow patterns to find money.
