That seasonal standstill caused us to schedule our Middle East arrival for September even though our client would have preferred us to start in midsummer. The crime was an embezzlement. The client’s attorneys engaged our firm, Arthur Andersen, to work closely with them in building a case for recovering the property. The situation under investigation was high profile and contentious. Someone allegedly had taken huge sums of money from agencies within a sovereign government in the Persian Gulf for more than a decade. The assets had been dispersed to financial institutions that included investment banks and brokerage houses in several European countries, including Germany and the United Kingdom. Our team of financial consultants consisted of two CPA s and an information technology specialist. We were working with six attorneys from the United States and the United Kingdom. Our mission was to help track down the transactions in which funds had been misappropriated and determine the total amount that was missing. We quickly found it was not a typical forensic accounting exercise. Tracing the assets while subject to extreme cultural and language constraints - including the sensitive nature of the information we had to review and the fact that the money was still on the move - was a challenging task. This is how we conducted the investigation. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
