Fraud/Internal Investigations

GlassRatner has achieved success with fraud investigations by approaching every assignment with an investigative mindset. We take nothing for granted. Our goal with every case is to develop the truest and most accurate picture possible from all the available financial and business information.

Financial fraud cases are complex by nature, because perpetrators of fraud generally take steps to obscure their actual transactions. Less experienced investigators may be overwhelmed by the complexity and volume of the information they are trying to understand. Cooking the books is nothing new—and some financial chefs are quite skilled and creative.

Fortunately, GlassRatner has the professional prowess to tackle the most complex fraud cases. Ian Ratner, one of the founders of our firm, is a nationally recognized expert in financial statement fraud, and he has been the lead professional in many high-profile assignments. Ian has led the development of the team's strength and proven processes that have established our core competency in Fraud & Litigation Accounting. Under Ian’s leadership, the GlassRatner team has compiled an impressive portfolio of successful forensic and investigative cases, including:

  • Pyramid and Ponzi schemes
  • Financial statement fraud
  • Transaction fraud
  • Healthcare fraud and abuse
  • SEC investigations
  • Undisclosed related party transactions
  • Embezzlement, kickbacks, internal theft
  • Diversion of corporate opportunity
  • Inventory shrinkage
  • Bust outs and bankruptcy frauds
  • Asset tracing

Our technical knowledge and our understanding of business operations assure that our reports are realistic and comprehensible. We have a well-earned reputation for communicating the details of complex fraud schemes in summaries that are clear, thorough, expressive and descriptive.
