CRA assisted a federal governmental agency investigate fraud against a major regional bank

CRA was engaged by a federal governmental agency, tasked with investigating fraud against a major regional bank, with the ultimate goal of recovering lost monies from responsible parties. Due to the size and nature of the business, the fraudulent activity was buried in several years’ worth of banking and accounting transactions spread across multiple data systems and applications. CRA professionals worked with counsel to perform complex data analytics across data sources to quantify damages, assist with expert reports, develop graphical demonstratives of the fraud lifecycle, and support deposition testimony. By pairing an extensive knowledge of databases and accounting systems with a collaborative working relationship with counsel, our team was able to rapidly quantify relevant aspects of the fraud and build dynamic models and demonstratives. Our deliverables supported multiple damage theories in a timely and defensible manner.
