Review categories

Core topics for investigative and administrative review

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 produces organized questions, workpapers, and follow-up items.

Missing bank records

Identify statement gaps, missing production periods, incomplete account coverage, and records that need to be requested before a financial review can be trusted.

Source deposit tracing

Separate visible source clues from unidentified deposits so reviewers 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.

Fraud-loss summaries

Organize transaction-level activity behind fraud-loss summaries so reviewers can see what the records support, what remains unexplained, and what needs additional documentation.

Restitution support

Organize transaction-level support behind restitution figures so reviewers can review which entries are documented, which are uncertain, and which need follow-up.

Vendor and payment irregularities

Review vendor payments, invoice patterns, duplicate disbursements, unusual recipients, and transaction sequences that warrant follow-up.

Healthcare and insurance billing irregularities

Organize healthcare-billing, insurance-billing, and related financial records for matters where billing patterns, payments, or coverage activity need review.

Public-sector financial-record review support

Financial-record review support for public-sector teams reviewing program funds, restricted accounts, grant activity, or other financial records that need organized review before next-step decisions.

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 and timelines
  • Deposit and source-issue list
  • Transfer-flow summary
  • Reconciliation notes
  • Workpaper-style findings
  • Follow-up questions for the reviewing team or records custodian

Role of the review

How it supports investigative and administrative teams

FinancialProofReview supports reviewers by organizing financial records into reviewable workpapers and issue lists. The work is financial-record review support — not legal advice, agency determinations, or charging decisions.

The reviewing team remains responsible for investigative direction, administrative determinations, charging decisions, agency findings, and any downstream actions. The review is intended to give the team 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, law-enforcement agency, investigative agency, or government entity. They do not provide legal advice, law-enforcement authority, charging decisions, agency determinations, testimony services, custody services, or guaranteed outcomes.

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