We were instructed as expert forensic accountant by a Defendant individual, who had been accused by her employers, a national chain of retailers, of a fraud involving the theft of cash takings.
We carried out our fraud investigation by examining the business systems of the employer and traced the daily takings records over an 18 month period. In our forensic accountancy report we were able to demonstrate that not only was there significant overstatement in the amounts of money our client was accused of stealing, but there was insufficient evidence that she had committed any crime at all.
Following our report the employer dropped all charges against our client.
