Forensic Accounting in Embezzlement Cases

Forensic Accounting in Embezzlement Cases: What It Is and When It's Needed

Forensic accounting in embezzlement cases in the U.S. is a specialized legal and financial procedure aimed at detecting and analyzing facts of financial fraud, abuse, asset misappropriation or fraudulent activities within companies, institutions or organizations. Such examination plays a key role in both criminal and civil proceedings, and its results can be used as evidence in court.

The examination is necessary in cases of:

• internal corporate investigations of embezzlement or fraud;
• suspicion of employee misappropriation of funds;
• determining damages resulting from negligence or abuse;
• resolving disputes between owners, partners or investors.

2. identification of signs of illegal appropriation, falsifications or hidden transactions;
3. preparation of expert opinions in accordance with U.S. judicial standards;
4. providing written evidence that can be used in court;
5. client support during investigative actions, asset protection consultations;
6. testifying in court as an expert witness for defense or prosecution.

• proper documentation of evidence and legal papers;
• compliance with criminal or civil procedure requirements;
