Our Services
If you have been the victim of fraud, you may require the services of a forensic examiner, which can be very costly as the hunt for fraud evidence is very precise and time-consuming. Justice for Fraud Victims (JFV) provides free services to those in need of these services.
In every forensic fraud investigation, numerous stages must be navigated. JFV is equipped to assist at any point in this process and address specific requirements within each stage.
Explore the key areas where JFV can offer support, alongside other valuable services and cases we take:
Lead the Investigation
We can assist with the overall plan and scope of the needs of the investigation, including:
- Identify what fraud has or is being carried out
- Determine the period during which the fraud seemingly occurred
- Theorize how the fraud was committed and concealed
- Estimate a relative quantification for the loss suffered
- Identify the types of relevant evidence that is admissible in the court
- Suggest prevention measures for the future
Collect and Analyze Evidence
Common techniques used for collecting evidence in a forensic audit include the following, all of which JFV can help with:
- Substantive audit procedures: various tasks such as reconciling accounts, examining documents, tracing transactions to official records, verifying entries against source documents, confirming transactions and balances with third parties, and assessing the magnitude of losses over time and in monetary terms, etc.
- Analytical procedures: Analyze trends within a specific timeframe or gather comparative data from the industry. Scrutinize data for irregularities, utilize SQL with large databases to detect potential fraud indicators, evaluate performance, and conduct recalculations of transactions, etc.
- Understanding and testing internal controls to identify any weaknesses that may have facilitated the occurrence of the fraud
- Interviews of witnesses: JFV can assist the prosecutors in identifying potential witnesses, outlining what each witness can confirm, compiling detailed profiles on them, and crafting a set of recommended questions for deposition interviews
Drafting Reports
A report is required to be presented to prosecutors, lawyers, and juries about the fraud. JFV can assist with organizing and creating an evidence-based report.
- The report will describe the strategy used for the collection of the evidence and the criteria for which evidence to include or exclude. The report could include the findings of the investigation, a summary of the evidence, an explanation of how the fraud was perpetrated, and suggestions on how internal controls can be improved to prevent such fraud in the future.
