Trust / Estate Accounting Review
Review fiduciary-prepared accountings against underlying bank records, identify missing statements and unsupported entries, and produce workpaper-style findings for trustees, beneficiaries, and counsel.
Forensic accounting review
Financial record review add-ons
FinancialProofReview engagements can include focused review add-ons depending on the records, questions, and matter type. Each add-on is a workpaper module designed to isolate one specific financial-record problem and organize it into reviewable findings, issue lists, and follow-up questions.
Built by HopkinsForensic. Powered by StatementProof workpapers.
How add-ons work
Focused modules, not generic reports
Add-ons are not separate legal opinions or expert reports. They are focused workpaper modules that isolate a specific financial-record problem. They can be used alone or combined depending on the matter. The review starts with whatever records are available. The output is organized financial-record support — summaries, issue lists, timelines, and follow-up questions — not legal advice or expert testimony. Which add-ons apply to a matter depends on the records available and the questions the matter raises. HopkinsForensic reviews intake before defining scope.

Core review paths
Choose the depth of review
Defined entry and comprehensive review paths built on the StatementProof workpaper system.
StatementProof Starter Review
Organized entry-level review of bank statements, transaction records, and supporting documents for matters with a defined scope and available records.
StatementProof Advanced Review
Comprehensive forensic accounting review for complex matters involving multiple accounts, extended date ranges, layered tracing, trust and estate work, divorce financial tracing, and fraud-loss analysis.
Cross-cutting methods
Cross-cutting financial-review methods
These methods are used across trust, divorce, business, elder, insurance, investigative, and litigation-support matters. They are not confined to one type of engagement.
Missing Bank Records
Identify statement gaps, missing production periods, and incomplete account coverage before a financial review can proceed.
Source Deposit Tracing
Separate supported deposits from unsupported credits and produce a deposit-source schedule for review.
Transfer Flow Analysis
Trace movement between accounts, identify matched transfers, and distinguish internal from external account activity.
Lowest Intermediate Balance Review (LIBR)
Prepare workpaper-style LIBR schedules organizing account activity in a form that supports commingled-fund tracing analysis.
How add-ons fit an engagement
One matter may use more than one add-on
A single matter often involves more than one financial-record problem. A trust dispute may need a missing-bank-records review, a source-deposit-tracing add-on, and a LIBR schedule. A divorce matter may need transfer-flow analysis and marital-tracing support. A fraud concern may need transaction chronology, transfer-flow analysis, and a restitution summary. Add-on selection depends on what records exist and what questions the matter raises. HopkinsForensic reviews intake before recommending which add-ons apply. No add-on produces a legal conclusion — each produces organized financial-record support.
Methodology
Built on StatementProof workpapers
StatementProof is the structured workpaper system behind FinancialProofReview. Each engagement runs through the same disciplined process: source documents are indexed, transactions are reconciled, and findings are organized into reviewer-grade workpapers rather than narrative memos.
FinancialProofReview engagements are led by a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) with subject-matter expertise in forensic accounting, fraud examination, and financial-record review. Reviews are conducted from a fraud-examination perspective and produce workpaper-style analysis, summaries, timelines, and issue lists. The work is financial-record review support, not legal advice, law-enforcement authority, charging decisions, or testimony.
The methodology is operated by HopkinsForensic, an independent forensic-accounting firm.
Start the review
Start with the records available
If the records are incomplete, disorganized, or unclear, the first step is identifying what exists, what is missing, and which review add-ons may be useful.
