Practical brief for attorneys, paralegals, and business teams.

Unusual invoices, inconsistent vendor information, or undisclosed relationships can justify a closer look. None of these indicators, by itself, establishes fraud.

A focused approach

Begin with the transaction and the representation being questioned. Compare authorized business records with independent information about the vendor’s identity, location, ownership, and operations.

Points to address

  • Identify the disputed transaction
  • Check entity names and payment details against authorized records
  • Track each discrepancy to its source

What the findings mean

Keep factual findings separate from allegations. Counsel and accounting professionals can evaluate the significance of documented discrepancies in the broader matter.
