Loss / damages calculation add-on

Loss / Damages Calculation Support

Financial-record review support for restitution and loss summary matters — organizing transaction records, payment histories, and account activity into workpaper-style schedules for attorney, investigator, prosecutor, or reviewer use.

Built by Hopkins Forensic. Powered by StatementProof workpapers.

What this is

Organizing financial records to support restitution proceedings

Restitution and loss proceedings require organized financial records: a clear account of what was paid, what was received, what was taken, what accounts were affected, and what the supporting documentation shows. Before counsel, investigators, or the court can work with those records, someone has to organize them — index the source documents, reconstruct the transaction chronology, account for missing records, and produce a schedule that ties each entry to its underlying document.

The Loss / Damages Calculation Support service performs that work. Hopkins Forensic performs scoped forensic-accounting work: engagements are tailored to the records, the question presented, and the intended use, and the resulting schedule includes loss calculations, damages schedules, restitution-support summaries, and questioned-cost schedules when scoped and supported by the records. Hopkins Forensic does not make charging decisions, court rulings, official agency determinations, or legal conclusions; legal liability, criminal intent, fiduciary breach, recoverability, and final remedies remain with counsel, the client, the agency, insurer, court, or other authorized decision-maker.

Who this fits

Attorneys, investigators, prosecutors, and restitution reviewers

  • Criminal defense or prosecution counsel needing organized financial records before a restitution hearing
  • Civil attorneys preparing loss calculations or damages schedules for counsel review
  • Investigators organizing transaction records in fraud, exploitation, or financial-crime matters
  • Restitution officers or probation officers needing an organized transaction schedule
  • Victims or victim advocates needing financial records organized before engaging counsel
  • Fiduciaries, trustees, or guardians documenting losses for beneficiary or court review
  • Matters where the financial records relevant to a restitution or loss claim are disorganized, incomplete, or spread across multiple accounts

What the schedule covers

Financial records relevant to restitution and loss matters

  • Transaction records for accounts affected during the relevant period
  • Payment records showing amounts received, transferred, or disbursed
  • Account balance history during the relevant period
  • Identified deposits and their sources where records permit
  • Identified withdrawals and their recipients where records permit
  • Transfers between accounts with matched-pair identification where possible
  • Missing-record periods that affect the completeness of the schedule
  • Known or identified victim payments or contributions where records support it
  • Supporting documents: invoices, contracts, receipts, or correspondence tied to transactions in the schedule

What records are involved

Records that support the restitution schedule

  • Bank account statements for all relevant accounts during the relevant period
  • Wire transfer and ACH records
  • Check images and deposit slips
  • Credit card or debit card statements where applicable
  • Investment or brokerage account statements where applicable
  • Trust or fiduciary account records where applicable
  • Invoices, contracts, receipts, or correspondence tied to the relevant transactions
  • Prior loss summaries, schedules, or workpapers prepared by counsel, CPA, or investigator
  • Any court filings, restitution orders, or prior proceedings that define the relevant period or accounts
  • Known missing-record periods or prior production requests

What the review produces when scoped

Workpaper-style outputs for restitution support

  • Source document index (all records received, indexed by account and period)
  • Account and statement inventory with period coverage map and gap notation
  • Transaction chronology (all identified transactions during the relevant period, in date order)
  • Deposit schedule (deposits identified by date, amount, account, and source where records permit)
  • Disbursement schedule (withdrawals and payments identified by date, amount, account, and payee where records permit)
  • Transfer schedule (inter-account transfers identified and matched where possible)
  • Missing-record list (periods or accounts not covered by available records)
  • Open questions for counsel, investigator, records custodian, or restitution officer
  • Workpaper-style findings with source references and methodology notes

Boundaries

Scoped forensic-accounting work — not legal advice or a legal conclusion

The Loss / Damages Calculation Support service organizes available financial records into workpaper-style schedules and, depending on scope, calculates loss, restitution, and damages figures where the records support the work. Hopkins Forensic performs scoped forensic-accounting work: engagements are tailored to the records, the question presented, and the intended use, and the work includes StatementProof workpapers, tracing schedules, loss calculations, damages schedules, restitution-support summaries, questioned-cost schedules, fiduciary shortfall analysis, source-referenced exhibits, and written methodology support when scoped and supported by the records. Hopkins Forensic does not make charging decisions, court rulings, official agency determinations, or legal conclusions; legal liability, criminal intent, fiduciary breach, recoverability, and final remedies remain with counsel, the client, the agency, insurer, court, or other authorized decision-maker. It does not provide legal advice. It does not provide expert testimony as part of a standard engagement — expert-witness engagements, if needed, are separately scoped and retained. It does not guarantee that any schedule will be accepted by a court, agency, or opposing party. The usefulness of the schedule depends entirely on the completeness and accuracy of the available records.

How the work is performed

Process and deliverable format

Source documents are indexed on receipt. Accounts and date ranges are inventoried and gaps are documented. Transactions are organized chronologically and by account. Deposits are reviewed for source documentation. Disbursements and transfers are summarized with available payee and recipient information. Inter-account transfers are matched where records permit. Missing-record periods are noted explicitly. The completed schedule is organized in workpaper-style format — each entry linked to its underlying source document, each gap or open question listed explicitly — for direct use by counsel, the investigator, the restitution officer, or the court.

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.

Hopkins Forensic 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 trial-ready expert testimony unless separately scoped.

The methodology is operated by Hopkins Forensic, an independent forensic-accounting firm.

If financial records relevant to a restitution or loss matter need organization before counsel, investigator, or court review, the first step is an intake review to confirm scope and record availability.
