Financial Investigations
Combining
unparalleled investigative expertise with financial acumen, Silver edge tackles
challenging and complex questions surrounding allegations of financial
misconduct, fraud, regulatory breaches, bribery and other corruption-related
matters.
Insiders
are the single biggest threat to corporate assets and individuals’ private
wealth. Privately held businesses and multinational, public corporations face
risks from insiders with privileges as well as those with responsibilities that
include purchasing, treasury and the management of books and records. Employees
with supply chain oversight present elevated bribery risk.
External
risk is very real too, and our forensic, cyber and investigative services have
provided resolution to those who have had their data breached, assets stolen or
royalties underreported, sometimes with the help of an insider. Silver edge’s
financial investigation teams assist clients and their counsel with any and all
phases of an investigation, from the initial detection of suspicious activity
right through to resolution, whether the end result is restitution, litigation,
an insurance claim or referral to the appropriate law enforcement agency.
Silver
edge undertakes financial investigations of misconduct, bribery and corruption,
as well as assessments of financial transactions, accounting irregularities,
and regulatory and compliance issues on behalf of publicly and closely held
companies, private equity firms, government agencies, municipalities, NGOs and
high net worth individuals.
