The key to proving investment fraud: follow the money.
What is it?
Forensic financial flow investigation is the systematic analysis of financial transactions, bank accounts, annual accounts, and corporate structures to determine where money has gone and whether fraudulent acts have occurred. The principle is simple, but the execution is complex: follow the money, from the investor’s bank account to its final destination.
What is being investigated?
A forensic financial flow investigation typically includes: analyzing bank statements and transaction overviews, auditing annual accounts and financial reports, reconstructing financial flows through multiple entities and countries, identifying the individuals involved and their roles, comparing reported costs with actual expenditures, and mapping out where the money ultimately ended up.
Why is it essential?
Without forensic evidence, it is one party’s word against the other’s. The judge needs hard facts: which amounts went where, who approved which transactions, and where the assets are currently located. This type of evidence can only be provided by professional forensic investigation.
Who carries it out?
BFRG collaborates with Dutch and American forensic experts who are among the global elite. Their expertise in tracing international financial flows and providing proof of fraudulent acts is invaluable to the mass claim.
