FRAUD
INVESTIGATION
In this phase of H&A's practice, H&A represents major lending institutions and other corporations with emphasis on discovery and recovery from distressed loans and from fraudulent activities. H&A's representation is professional and confidential and the client is kept informed in all stages of the assignment. In most cases, the goal is to review operations to discover the reason for the loss and to explore all avenues for recovery from collateral, from guarantors and from litigation with third parties.
H&A has been involved in cases amounting to over $1 billion in fraudulent transactions. H&A has become well known for its fraud investigations and articles have appeared in Forbes, Corporate Security, The Atlanta Business Chronicle, American Banker and other publications. Forbes labeled H&A "FRAUDBUSTERS" and that name has since served to identify H&A's firm in the field of fraud investigation.
H&A's consultants investigate Fraud through techniques developed over the years. H&A has developed expertise in detecting and analyzing complex fraud and is familiar with fraudulent schemes and patterns. Documents and records are researched using both internal and external sources to unravel the fraud. The company has been known to quickly identify the fraud even after others have failed. H&A's motto is "Follow the Cash". Once the fraud is identified, consultants work closely with legal counsel and provide litigation support. In addition, H&A develops a recovery plan and serves as expert witnesses as needed.
Fraud Audits
H&A developed a FRAUD AUDIT program to assist clients with the early detection of fraud. The FRAUD AUDIT program provides due diligence in connection with fraud detection and H&A strongly recommends that clients use this type of approach to detect fraud in its early stages. The FRAUD AUDIT is not an accounting audit and consists of techniques and procedures developed by H&A in the discovery of fraud. The FRAUD AUDIT is designed to detect various schemes and diversion of funds. The FRAUD AUDIT is designed as a quick-check to detect fraud and is carried out in a relatively short period of time.
