Assurance Forensic Accounting | Certified public accountants for the claims industry

Fidelity Claims

Within fidelity claims, we specialize in the review of employee dishonesty losses. Employee dishonesty losses arise when an employee steals assets from his or her employer.

In addition to CPAs, our staff includes certified fraud examiners (CFEs). Our CFEs are not only experienced in analyzing and scrutinizing the books, but also skilled in criminology, the legal elements of fraud, the interviewing process and obtaining information from public sources. We assist with employee dishonesty claims by:

Determining if the discrepancies are the result of theft or accounting/bookkeeping errors.

Documenting the internal control structure and accounting system.

Reviewing tax filings to ensure that the suspected person was an employee, not an independent contractor or officer, both of which are sometimes excluded from employee dishonesty insurance coverage.

Identifying recoveries through payroll or other sources.

Separating direct and indirect losses.

Providing a detailed report that can be used to satisfy the claim and criminal prosecutor.
