Forensic Accounting
When concerns about fraud, embezzlement, abuse or accounting irregularities arise, Goldstein Lewin & Co. has the accounting expertise and investigative skill needed to uncover the facts and determine whether or not the numbers add up.
Goldstein Lewin & Co.'s forensic accountants analyze relevant business records, reconstruct books and interview involved parties. We uncover the facts to determine whether or not financial wrongdoing has occurred; if it has how long it has been in progress, how it was concealed and the value of the impact. We will examine, quantify and document losses as a result of the fraud. Proper documentation is necessary to support recovery, litigation and insurance claims.
Forensic Accounting Services:
Business Failure Causation - When a business begins to fail, there are a number of possible causes. If the source of the decline is diagnosed early, this situation is often reversible. We will investigate possible causes, perform a thorough analysis and help you determine the reason for the decline in business.
Occupational Fraud - Occupational fraud is the use of one's occupation for personal enrichment through the deliberate misuse or misapplication of the employing organization's resources or assets. We will discreetly investigate and document any financial misappropriations in your company.
Securities Fraud - Also known as stock fraud or investment fraud, securities fraud occurs when investors make purchase or sale decisions on the basis of false information in violation of securities laws--frequently resulting in losses. If securities fraud is found in your company, you will need to analyze, quantify and document the losses as soon as possible.
Hidden Asset Analysis - Assets can be hidden an innumerable number of ways for a variety of reasons. Our seasoned professionals are trained to find these hidden assets, discover how they were hidden and for how long.
Net Worth Theory & Analysis - In cases of divorce, mergers, or partnership absolution, net worth theory and analysis is a vital component of legally binding documentation. We will investigate all legal sources of income, investments and savings to determine and document an individual's net worth.
Expenditure Theory & Analysis - The process of thoroughly tracking and documenting an individual's total expenditures, this process is invaluable in many cases especially in divorce or embezzlement where unreported income can exist.
Lifestyle Analysis - A change in standard of lifestyle can often be the first clue to possible fraud or misappropriation. We will investigate the source of the new income and document any fraudulent dealings relevant to the company. This can also be a necessary tool in divorce cases.
Business Interruption Claims - If your normal business activity has been interrupted because of a natural disaster or other cause, you may be able to recover the losses through your business insurance. We will quantify the estimated lost profits and document your loss for your insurance carrier and if necessary for legal proceedings.
Lost Earnings of Individuals - If you are unable to work because of an accident or other cause, you may be able to recover your lost wages and profits through proper documentation of your estimated losses.
Lost Profits of Businesses - If fraud or other illegal activities have caused your business to lose profits, you may be able to recover your profits in court with proper documentation and analysis of your lost profits.
Intellectual Property Damages - If someone has caused your intellectual property to be devalued, for example an individual from your firm quits and sells your concept for a new product to a competing company, you may be entitled to money damages for your lost profits. We can help you substantiate your claim by documenting your intellectual property and the access of the damaging party to your intellectual property.
Patent Infringement Damages - The Supreme Court defines patent infringement damages as "compensation for the pecuniary loss [that the patentee] has suffered from the infringement, without regard to the questions of whether the defendant has gained or lost by his unlawful acts." If you can prove that someone has infringed on your patent, it is necessary to document your losses. We can help you document the infringement and quantify the losses.
Construction Claims - When damages occur during construction, a building owner must document the state of completion of the new construction. We can help you quantify the lost or damaged assets during any phase of construction.
Valuation and Division of Marital Property - Valuation of assets during a divorce is an investigative process. Our experienced valuation professionals uncover hidden assets or unseen values that others may miss.
