Presentation Background
A fraud examiner walks into a victim’s home and sees piles of papers stacked to the ceiling on the dining room table. In another case, the starting point for a fraud examination is a large pile of garbage bags that are full of seized documents that have gone moldy sitting in a storage unit. Where to begin? In this presentation, we will look at lessons learned in two recent fraud investigations cases.
Presentation Objectives
1. An approach to structuring documents in proper chronological or thematic order, to better understand the available evidence.
2. How to recognize fraud clues in what may be absent or missing from a cache of materials.
3. Practical methods for investigating two types of real estate and investment frauds.
