Financial Investigations Assessment

1. What method do you use to prepare data for analysis?

A. Collect and collate printed copies of financial records for manual analysisB. Import financial records into spreadsheets, run scripts to clean, dedupe, and standardize the data, then use pivot tables to manually inspect and finalize itC. Same as B, but we use a database instead of spreadsheetsD. Use multiple systems to handle different types of data, with some level of automation between systemsE. Use a single, automated platform that uses AI to prepare all types of data, with minimal manual intervention

2. In a case with 1+ million transactions and 100+ financial accounts, how long would data preparation take before you could start your investigation?

3. On average, how many people are required to work on each investigation?

4. During analysis, how easy is it to spot connections between parties, trace intermediary parties and transactions, and follow the complete money trail?

A. Very difficult. It relies too much on manual investigation across multiple spreadsheets or systems.B. Hard. We have good processes and scripts but it's still challenging to spot the connections.C. It's a lot of work, but we have an experienced team who has a good track record of finding a needle in a haystack.D. It's fairly straightforward, because our cases tend not to be that complex and/or our systems help simplify analysis even when cases vary in complexity.E. It's simple, because our system automatically flags suspicious transactions, shows money flows across intermediaries, and highlights suspicious activity.

5. After analysis, how confident are you that you've found all the connections and hidden funds?

A. We definitely didn't find it allB. We most likely didn't find it allC. We may have missed someD. We most likely found it allE. We definitely found all that could be found

6. How confident are you that your investigation findings will be easy to defend in court?

A. Not confident, because we rely so much on manual investigation techniques, and we have to bring stacks of documents into the courtroom.B. Somewhat confident, because we keep detailed notes on our processes and can show our work.C. Fairly confident, because our team members are highly skilled and have good experience defending our findings.D. Confident, because our cases are typically straightforward and don't have lots of data to sift through and/or because our systems help structure and present findings clearly, even when handling varying volumes of data.E. Fully confident, because our system provides a complete audit trail, automatically generates an executive summary, and seamlessly links between source data such as bank statements and the transactions we've flagged.
