Joint Venture Dispute

When one half of a joint venture believes they are not getting a fair split of the profits, the venture can quickly feel anything but joint. In this case, two parties collaborated to work on a government contract worth over 30 million dollars. Although one partner was promised complete joint venture accounting visibility by the other, none was provided. Based on an employee tip, they began to suspect the project managing partner of not splitting the profits equitably and engaged an attorney along with the team at Capstone Forensic Group.

With over three years of bank statements and associated checks that were only made available in a low resolution, the team needed to figure out exactly how money was flowing so they could help determine how the profits needed to be allocated.

When Capstone was brought on, they knew they needed to get to the bottom of how money was being spent. They utilized Valid8 to do so quickly and efficiently, identifying $2.5 million of additional profit of the JV that needed to be split between partners.
