Restructuring and Insolvency

Forensic investigators who help build your case

For those seeking to maximize their recovery from a distressed company, FRA’s core skills in investigating potential misconduct efficiently address concerns over asset diversion or fraudulent activity related to the company’s financial deterioration. This can include:  

• Analyzing payment systems and financial statements for anomalies, transactional red flags
• Reconstructing financial records to quantify debtor funds that may have been used improperly
• Tracing assets and fund flows
• Mapping disclosed/undisclosed corporate entities and liabilities and reviewing related party transactions
• Analyzing whether the entity engaged in improper activity after the point when insolvency was reached
