When this is useful
When attorneys use FinancialProofReview
Attorneys and litigation professionals engage FinancialProofReview when the financial-record side of a matter has to be organized before the matter can move efficiently. Typical situations include:
- Records arrive incomplete, disorganized, or in mixed formats
- Bank statements do not reconcile against accountings or summaries
- Transfers between accounts are unexplained or inconsistently documented
- Deposits need source review before they can be relied on
- Fiduciary, trust, or estate accountings need support review
- Divorce or business records need transaction-level organization
- The matter needs financial issue spotting before discovery, settlement, mediation, expert engagement, or trial preparation
Attorney review categories
Financial-record review categories for litigation support
FinancialProofReview is built for matters where the financial records are incomplete, inconsistent, or too messy to evaluate from bank statements alone. The review path starts with the records available and turns them into organized questions, workpapers, and follow-up items for counsel.
Source deposit tracing
Separate visible source clues from unidentified deposits so counsel can see which credits are explained, which remain unsupported, and which need follow-up.
Transfer flow analysis
Trace apparent movement between accounts, identify matched transfers, and distinguish internal account movement from outside-account activity.
Fiduciary and trust accounting review
Review trust, estate, and fiduciary-controlled accountings for missing statements, unclear disbursements, unexplained deposits, and gaps that need support.
Divorce financial records review
Organize account records, transfers, deposits, and missing-document questions for marital-finance disputes and attorney review.
Business transaction irregularities
Review business records for suspicious payments, unexplained withdrawals, unusual deposits, billing irregularities, and transaction patterns that warrant follow-up.
Healthcare or insurance billing records
Organize healthcare-billing, insurance-billing, and related financial records for matters where billing patterns, payments, or coverage activity need review.
Restitution and loss-summary support
Organize transaction-level support behind restitution or loss summaries so counsel can review what the records do and do not support, where appropriate.
Deliverables
What the review can produce
Each engagement is organized into reviewer-grade workpapers rather than narrative memos. Typical outputs include:
- Source document index
- Account and statement inventory
- Missing-record list
- Transaction summaries
- Deposit and source-issue list
- Transfer-flow summary
- Reconciliation notes
- Workpaper-style findings
- Follow-up questions for counsel, client, or records custodian
Role of the review
How it supports counsel
FinancialProofReview supports counsel by organizing financial records into reviewable workpapers and issue lists. The work is financial-record review support, not legal advice.
Attorneys remain responsible for legal strategy, pleadings, discovery decisions, privilege, court submissions, settlement strategy, and litigation outcomes. The review is intended to give counsel a clearer view of what the records show, what is missing, and what needs follow-up.
Methodology
Led by a Certified Fraud Examiner
FinancialProofReview engagements are led by a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) with subject-matter expertise in forensic accounting, fraud examination, and financial-record review. The work is conducted from a fraud-examination and forensic accounting review perspective and is organized into reviewer-grade workpapers rather than unsupported narrative conclusions.
The methodology is operated by HopkinsForensic, an independent forensic-accounting firm, using the StatementProof workpaper system.
Next step
Start with the records you have
If the records are incomplete, disorganized, or unclear, the first step is identifying what exists, what is missing, and what needs follow-up.
Important boundaries
FinancialProofReview and HopkinsForensic provide forensic accounting and financial-record review support. They are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. Attorney users remain responsible for legal strategy, pleadings, discovery, court submissions, settlement strategy, and litigation outcomes.
No review outcome is guaranteed. The scope and usefulness of any review depends on the records available.
