What Are Major Information Sources In Fraud Investigations?

What do you think can be the major tools to reach the depth of any fraud committed in your organization: accounting information, payroll records or internal memos? These might be helpful investigation tools for small investigations conducted by individuals, but what about huge fraud investigations with embezzlement of huge sums?

To reach the culprit with all the required details, these small tools might not help you at all. Being a common person, you will not go beyond these tools; but professional investigators have much stronger information sources to prove the case. In Mumbai Fraud investigators take help of a wide range of advanced sources including both public and non-public records to investigate the cases.

Non-public Records:

Fraud investigators start their process with collection of information from non-public records like banking details and federal tax returns. Investigators are not allowed to access this data without permission of judge. In case of absence of judge’s authorization, you can also take help of a suspect to get information in the interest of full disclosure.

Telephone records, credit reports and mortgage loan files are some additional non-public records, private investigators use to get useful information about the suspect.

Public Records:

There is no dearth of public records to collect information about an individual or a company. The only requirement is to find the accurate information from a bunch of data. Corporate investigators in Mumbai take help of data aggregators to ease the process and get right information including criminal, cabin and bankruptcy records of different areas.

As the reports prepared with the help of information provided by data aggregator can be very lengthy, investigators usually cross check it to exclude less important information.

Other Records:

Online data search is one of the latest techniques used by the private investigators in metro cities. Online presence of the suspect can help them get essential information. They access social media accounts, professional accounts and other sources to get the best information available online. In case of corporate frauds by companies, investigators also access corporate websites of the company that can provide ample information about the company, management and history.
