Join our panel of accountants and attorneys as they discuss common methods used to conceal income and assets, the process of tracing the money and the databases – including public records and other documents – available to uncover these hidden assets.
Many cases require attorneys to know and find the assets of the parties involved—whether it’s a divorce, collections, business litigation, or some other type of case. Business owners and individuals often try to manipulate their personal and company financial statements. Fortunately, tax returns aren’t always easy to misrepresent for those who know how to interpret them, along with personal and business bank statements, pension and retirement account statements, credit card statements and applications, loan statements and applications, insurance policies and bills, and wills and other estate planning documents.
This program will teach you how to:
- How to read a tax return to specifically look for hidden assets
- Identify the kinds of information useful for finding hidden assets
- Identify methods of hiding assets and income and common procedures used to help uncover them
- Discuss with clients the kinds of information useful to begin an asset search
- Explain to clients realistic procedures and timelines in both forensic accounting and asset searches
