We turn your company's accounting and financial information into solid evidence for disputes, claims and criminal proceedings. We analyze fraud, conduct forensic audits and prepare expert reports, backed by Fextor and its forensic lab, FexLab.
Fraud always leaves a trail in the records. Our job is to find it, measure it and explain it clearly to a judge, an insurer or your company's board.
Every engagement follows an orderly path, designed from the outset so that the result holds up in a dispute or in court.
Together with your legal team, we define the questions the investigation must answer, its scope and the information required.
We gather accounting and treasury records, reconciliations, bank transactions and their supporting documents, preserving the chain of custody.
We cross-check the information using financial analysis tools that generate visual maps of the connections between people, accounts and companies.
We reconstruct the path of unusual payments and transfers until we identify their beneficiaries.
We measure the economic impact of the fraud or loss with figures that can be supported and explained.
We submit the expert report and defend it at hearings, in arbitration or before the insurer.
We support your company's legal team in current or anticipated disputes and lawsuits. These are the services we are asked for most often.
We design the financial investigation around your case: what must be proven, what information is needed and how to obtain it without alerting those involved.
We review accounting and treasury records to detect diverted funds, unusual payments and manipulated information, and to determine who benefited. The findings also help strengthen your compliance program.
We process large volumes of transactions with tools that generate visual maps of the connections between people, accounts and companies.
We work alongside your legal team in criminal, civil and arbitration proceedings and in insurance claims, providing the economic analysis that underpins the strategy.
We prepare clear expert reports and defend them at hearings, explaining technical findings in language the judge can understand.
We locate assets and funds in Ecuador and abroad so that your company can request interim measures and pursue their recovery.
We work alongside Fextor, our sister investigations firm, and FexLab, the group's forensic lab. That way, the financial analysis and the legal strategy move in the same direction.
Fextor brings together former DHS, FBI and DEA officials. Their experience in complex financial investigations complements the work of our lawyers and experts in Ecuador.

Matters we have worked on, described without revealing our clients' identities.
We gathered accounting and treasury information (reconciliations, transactions and supporting documents) to trace unusual payments to personal accounts and unauthorized third parties. We valued the impact of the fraud to support a fraud insurance policy claim and entered a technical expert report into the proceeding.
Using data on cost of sales, payroll, capital contributions and key suppliers, we substantiated a breach of trust and a diversion of funds not authorized by the parent company, which created tax and criminal exposure for the company's officers in Ecuador.
Every case is different. Results in previous matters do not guarantee a similar outcome in other cases.
We listen to your situation in full confidence and review the information available.
We identify risks, outstanding obligations and priorities for your company.
We propose the roadmap, timeline and team, including any other practice areas of the firm that need to be involved.

It is the application of accounting, financial and investigative techniques to analyze economic events so that the results can be used in a dispute, a claim or a court proceeding.
A traditional audit gives an opinion on whether the financial statements are fairly presented. A forensic audit seeks to answer specific questions about a possible fraud or loss: what happened, how, who benefited and how much was lost, to a standard designed to serve as evidence.
When there are suspicions of internal fraud, diversion of funds or unusual payments; when your company is preparing a claim against its insurer; or when it faces or anticipates litigation in which the figures will be decisive. If the case involves a scam or external fraud, we work alongside our Scams and Financial Fraud practice.
Yes. The findings can serve as the basis for a criminal complaint and for the work of experts within the proceeding. We coordinate with our Criminal Law practice so that the evidence meets procedural requirements.
It depends on the case, but it usually includes accounting and treasury records, bank reconciliations, payroll records, contracts and supplier documentation. At the initial meeting we will tell you what we need and how to protect its confidentiality.
