Investigations

Led and advised a firm who fell victim to a multi-million dollar fraudulent transfer, which ended up in a Ukrainian bank. After our investigations revealed the mechanism of the transfer and the involvement of corrupt government officials and organized crime, our professional, strategic advice aided the client to retrieve all the misdirected funds. IRIS anti-fraud engagements have reduced potential losses and recovered misappropriated assets in many other instances, including more than a dozen successful investigations of life insurance fraud involving several million dollars.

Corporate intelligence

In the aftermath of the economic crisis in August of 1998, we performed an in-depth analysis of the operations of various foodstuff manufacturers to allow our client to remain competitive by implementing similar changes in its business. We reported on distribution, pricing, human resource policy, salaries, and business plans for production capacity and restructuring.
