FCPA: Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

  

Our expert team provides detailed Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and fraud investigation advisory to assist attorneys in these international investigations. We deliver defendable economic and valuation analysis for the myriad of financial and accounting issues involved in high-profile accusations of corruption and bribery.  

Similar to forensic investigations, FCPA cases are inherently intense. Additionally, FCPA investigations are also often very complex, multi-year engagements. A blend of technical acumen and effective patience are critical to success. 

How We Assist Clients

 

Sample FCPA forensic investigation support services entail:

  • Analysis of preliminary valuation results and expert report delivery
  • Arm's-length salary benchmarking analysis to derive projected earnings
  • Bribing sourcing analysis:
    • Hidden bank accounts
    • Offshore holdings companies
    • Shell companies
    • Fake Transactions
  • Bill-paying capacity analysis
  • Critique and rebuttal of competing expert reports
  • Deposition testimony
  • Detailed written reports or summary rebuttal reports
  • Digging for hidden assets such as offshore accounts, trusts, and real property
  • Financial modelling of key variables
  • Financial modelling of former spouse's personal or business interests
  • Financial statement analysis of key fraud areas:
    • Accounts Receivables
    • Accounts Payable
    • Inventory
    • Unearned Revenue balances with Current Liabilities
    • Revenue Recognition policies
  • Forensic statistical modelling

In addition, FCPA procedures encompass tracing, vouching, record reconciliation, and e-Discovery. We also advise clients in all stages of procedure.

How We Are Transparent

 

We perform our services on a flat-fee or hourly basis with leading attorneys, alternative investment funds, CFOs, CPAs, and other C-suite corporate executives. We strongly feel engagement scope and fee ranges should be communicated effectively and efficiently.

We accordingly serve clients in stages, and we encourage clients to take a methodical, calculated approach to deciding which professional offerings are necessary or optional. 

Our first service stage is dubbed the NAV Situation Scan (TM). The Situation Scan helps both our clients and our teams diagnose the services necessary for fulfilment of client objectives. We then communicate the results of the Situation Scan to derive a suggested road-map. The NAV team next proposes a time frame for delivery of service milestones. We are inherently flexible, and our Situation Scans outline a proposed plan of action and not a mandatory obligation. We have found clients cherish this "ramp-up or ramp-down" flexibility that can be implemented at any time.
