Methodology
How we establish context, organize records and define the limits of our findings.
Document review
Identify available records, their sources and what they support. Separate originals, copies and statements from third parties.
Expected outputInventory of sources and missing records
Financial analysis
Organize dates, amounts and currencies. Compare payments, transactions and withdrawal requests to distinguish displayed balances from documented movements.
Expected outputTransaction timeline and discrepancies to explain
Research and verification
Cross-check references, counterparties and accessible records within the agreed scope. Identify issues that require independent confirmation or an authorized professional.
Expected outputCross-checked sources and pending verification
Assessment of findings
Classify each finding by its supporting evidence. Explain the limits of the review and the questions that remain open.
Expected outputFindings, limitations and open questions
Presentation of options
Explain the options supported by the review, the information each would require and when to seek specialized assistance.
Expected outputOptions subject to the available evidence
How we classify findings
- Supported by records
- A specific source documents the finding. The report explains what the record establishes.
- Inference
- The conclusion follows from available information but still needs corroboration. We explain the reasoning and uncertainty.
- Pending verification
- The available records are insufficient. We identify what needs to be checked and why it matters.
Findings reflect the available records. Legal representation and certified opinions are separate engagements.
