For business owners, finance teams & commercial counsel

Financial record review for businesses

FinancialProofReview helps business owners, finance teams, and commercial counsel organize transaction histories, vendor and billing records, suspected fraud losses, partnership disputes, and financial-document irregularities into clearer forensic accounting review workpapers.

Built by HopkinsForensic. Powered by StatementProof workpapers.

When this is useful

Matters where the business record needs clarity

Typical situations include suspected internal fraud, vendor or billing irregularities, partnership and shareholder disputes, financial records that need to be organized before audit, litigation, or settlement, transaction patterns that need investigation, and matters where the financial records have to be reviewed before management or commercial strategy can be decided.

Business review categories

Financial-record review categories for business matters

FinancialProofReview is built for matters where the business records are incomplete, inconsistent, or too messy to evaluate from summaries alone. The review path starts with the records available and turns them into organized questions, workpapers, and follow-up items for owners, finance, and counsel.

Suspected internal fraud review

Review transaction patterns, account activity, and payment histories where internal fraud is suspected.

Vendor and payment irregularities

Review vendor payments, billing patterns, and disbursement records for unexplained or unsupported activity.

Partnership and shareholder disputes

Organize partnership distributions, capital accounts, and transaction histories for partnership or shareholder review.

Source deposit tracing

Separate explained business deposits from unsupported credits requiring follow-up.

Transfer flow analysis

Trace movement between business accounts, owners, or related entities.

Missing bank records

Identify statement gaps and missing production before deeper review begins.

Billing and reimbursement review

Review billing records, reimbursement patterns, and expense submissions for irregularities.

Pre-litigation financial-document review

Organize records into reviewable workpapers before commercial litigation, settlement, or expert engagement.

Deliverables

What the review can produce

Each engagement is organized into reviewer-grade workpapers rather than narrative memos. Typical outputs include:

  • Source document index
  • Transaction inventory
  • Account-relationship map
  • Vendor and payment summaries
  • Transfer-flow summary
  • Loss summaries where supported by records
  • Workpaper-style findings
  • Follow-up questions for owners, finance, or counsel

How this supports business work

Review support, not management or legal advice

FinancialProofReview supports business owners, finance teams, and counsel by organizing financial records into reviewable workpapers and issue lists. Businesses and counsel remain responsible for management decisions, audit responses, litigation strategy, and commercial outcomes. The review is financial-record support, not legal or management advice.

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 financial records are incomplete, disorganized, or unclear, the first step is identifying what exists, what is missing, and what questions the records raise.

Important boundaries

FinancialProofReview and HopkinsForensic provide forensic accounting and financial-record review support. They are not a law firm, audit firm, or management advisor. They do not provide legal advice, audit opinions, or management decisions. Business and counsel users remain responsible for management, audit, and litigation outcomes.

No review outcome is guaranteed. The usefulness of any review depends on the records available.
