Not to mention that fraud in divorces and family disagreements can also be a prevalent problem.

Cost Effective Solutions

Utilizing technology to complete the grunt work saves you money without compromising the integrity of our report. Instead of digging through dozens of boxes of paper filings, we can turn to our DIO software to quickly search for items, significantly reducing the manpower and hours associated with your case.

Expanded Insights

Bringing an open and closed fraud case to court relies on having insights outside of standard pivot tables and algorithms. Instead, you need data science and software modeling designed for advanced organization and precision. We use our DIO software as a resource to help our team analyze your situation on both a micro and macro level.

Expert Testimony

We stand behind our work, which is why our team can testify as expert witnesses in a court setting. Having an expert witness present the facts and money trail leads to more credibility and clarification on complex topics.

Understanding the Process of DIO

So, how does DIO really work? First, our team enters all the relevant data, including statements and check images and reconciles to the respective balances. Then, we import the spreadsheet with all of the data into our Case Management Software. This gives us the ability to complete the following tasks:

Organize transactions between money accounts and chart of account classifications.
Trace the movement of financial assets.
Add investigator notes on pdf images.
Mass search to classify and organize bulk data.
Convert hard copies of documents to virtual evidence.
Run Benford’s Law on each account.
Create reports, such as Sources and Uses or Indirect Method of Proof.
Generate a comprehensive web of data and support for your case.

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to the forensic accounting of your situation, which is why we tailor all services to fit your case needs. Do you have a unique project? Reach out to see how our trusted and qualified team can help.

Why Sage Investigations Outperforms Competitors

With technology on the rise, forensic accountants have been in high demand. This has led to the opening of dozens of businesses, but are they really the right fit for you? When looking for a qualified forensic accountant, there are a few areas you want to consider, all of which Sage Investigations excels in.

Education – When it comes to the forensic accounting field, you want to be working with an educated team. This is commonly done through bachelor’s and master’s degrees, both of which are found in Sage Investigations’ team.
Experience – Sometimes, experience outweighs education. You don’t want to hire a forensic accountant that has never testified in court or handled your situation. Combined, our team has over 50 years of experience tackling different areas of forensic accounting.
Credentials – Courts place heavy emphasis on credentials, like Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) and Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Forensic accountants that don’t have the proper credentials might not be able to testify on your behalf as an expert witness. When working with Sage Investigations, you don’t have to worry about this, as our team has a wide variety of credentials.
Availability – Odds are your case is time sensitive. You should work with a forensic accountant that has the availability to meet your deadlines without compromising the accuracy or completeness of your information. At Sage Investigations, we only take on cases that we have the availability for, ensuring you are our priority.

Other factors you should evaluate include prior customers’ reviews, prices, and services offered. Sage Investigations excels on all fronts, providing you with comprehensive, insightful, and timely forensic accounting services.
