Fraud The Case of the Gambling Consultant You always hope that your employees are trustworty and responsible. However, that is not always the case. In one instance, the personnel of a company discovered strange transactions on their monthly bank statement. The employee who normally opened the bank statement was unexpectedly out that day and one of the owners decided to take a look. It became quickly obvious, even to an untrained eye, that something was wrong. The initial assumption was that there was a bank error. Arxis Financial was retained to resolve the problem. Once on-site, it became obvious to a trained eye that it was not a bank error, it was fraud. What began as a reconciliation engagement became a full-fledged fraud investigation and prosecution. After eight hours of forensic work, enough evidence was gathered to support a report proving the defalcation and quantifying the total loss. Chris Hamilton eventually provided key evidence in Los Angeles Superior Court that was instrumental in proving the case against the employee. |
