CRA was engaged by a private equity firm, after the purchase of a healthcare company, when the private equity firm became aware of possible fraudulent accounting improprieties resulting in overstated earnings, a key measure of the purchase price. Our professionals were retained to investigate the alleged improper accounting relating to improper revenue recognition, improper billing practices, and failures to reimburse patients and payers.
