CASE Study

Identifying Missing Accounts

Going through a divorce is already a difficult and emotional process, but when one spouse suspects the other of not disclosing all the assets, it can become even more sensitive.

In a recent family law forensics matter, the team at Berkowitz Pollack Brant (BPB) was brought in to help equitably split the assets. Through the process of discovery, one spouse began to question whether all financial evidence was being provided. The BPB team needed to identify the missing accounts and provide insight into the suspected undisclosed assets. With more than fifteen bank accounts reaching back over three years and thousands of transactions to sort through, the process of finding the missing accounts presented a very labor-intensive task.To save crucial time in the investigation, the BPB team turned to Valid8.

With the evidence presented, the team at Berkowitz Pollack Brant saw that the data preparation and analysis would take too long. They employed Valid8 to move through the required steps quickly and efficiently.
