Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does a Typical Forensic Accounting Investigation Take?
A simple investigation that requires review of a few financial accounts will take much less time to complete than a comprehensive investigation with a lot of document review and multiple states in which you are tracing assets. Time may also be impacted by external factors that impede the flow of information, for example if the parties involved do not want to cooperate or if there are external agency intervention.
How Do You Conduct Complex Investigations like Asset Tracing and Recovery?
We conduct complex investigations, like Asset Tracing and Recovery, through a systematic process that combines financial analysis with advanced investigative technology or methodology. The goal is to “follow the money” in locating or recovering stolen or hidden assets. The File-Setup phase begins with gathering and collecting data from every available financial and non-financial record source, which may include bank statements, tax returns, and even social-media data. It is always best to obtain electronic statements directly from the source to maintain the integrity of the data.
How Do You Ensure My Client's Financial Data?
We protect your client’s financial data by employing a well-rounded defense in depth security framework comprised of integrated security controls. Our policies are ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015 certified and governed by a designated Information Security Officer to ensure that we remain compliant. For data protection, we utilize 256-Bit AES encryption for everything that contains data, apply biometric access and 24/7 CCTV to Innate’s physical offices, and employ strict role-based access so that employees only have access to the data necessary for them to perform their duties. All prospective employees are required to undertake a mandatory background check and will sign confidentiality agreements with Innate to ensure that your data is protected at every level, from physical access to digital transmission.
