What is a financial investigation?

It involves analysing financial and corporate information to identify relationships, patterns, and risk indicators relevant to a matter.

Do you access bank accounts or private financial data?

No. We rely solely on lawful sources and information provided by the client.

How does this differ from asset tracing?

Financial investigations focus on financial activity and relationships, whereas asset tracing focuses on identifying specific assets. We can, however, carry out both investigations as part of the same case, if requested.
