Through the reconstruction of event timelines, detailed analysis of transactions and relationship mapping, we identify conflicts of interest, governmental nexus and the ultimate beneficiaries of transactions in a forensically sound manner. We invest heavily in technology, including computer forensic, data mining and analytical tools, allowing us to delve deeper and faster for reliable, cost-effective and timely results.
We conduct our investigations against exacting evidentiary standards so that our findings may be confidently used in support of civil and criminal legal actions. Kroll does not provide traditional accounting and tax services, allowing us to bring a high level of independence and objectivity to our forensic accounting assignments—qualities which are often influential and compelling in the eyes of regulatory or law enforcement agencies.
