Insured Losses Under Financial Lines

We apply our expertise to a full spectrum of claims including crime and fidelity, directors and officers liability, political risk, and surety bonds. Our forensic accountants have broad experience of reviewing financial claims and are supported by our forensic technology colleagues who, with computer-assisted audit tools, can extract and examine large amounts of financial data. Where nonfinancial scrutiny is required, we work closely with our investigation team to provide background research and intelligence gathering. We can also assist with asset tracing and recovery.

Crime and fidelity

Insurers and their advisors retain our deeply experienced team to investigate, identify, and verify amounts claimed under a commercial crime package policy, fidelity policy, or financial institution bond coverage form. We scrutinize trails of financial data to evaluate the merits of the scheme and identify the facts and financial evidence necessary to accurately quantify the loss. Such claims typically arise from employee dishonesty, misappropriation, embezzlement, forgery, theft, robbery, or fraud. We also provide commentary on how to better prevent and detect future fraud.

Directors and officers

When a claim arises under a directors and officers (D&O) liability policy, we assist insurers in the review of the claim and the quantification of losses. Our evaluation may involve determining whether the actions of company directors have impacted the company’s value.
