Accounting fraud
Sometimes referred to as "cooking the books," accounting fraud is a common form of corporate fraud in which accounting records are manipulated to cover up unlawful activity, such as embezzlement, fictitious sales, or outright theft.
Vendor fraud
This type of corporate fraud occurs when a business takes actions intended to deceive purchasers, like overbilling or double-billing for products or services.
Payroll fraud
Manipulating payroll accounts is one of the most frequent kinds of fraud committed in the corporate world. Examples include employees misrepresenting hours worked and management tampering with hours or inventing bogus employees to collect undeserved pay or extra paychecks.
Asset theft and misappropriation
This kind of fraud occurs when employees or other individuals take or misuse a company's assets for personal gain, undermining trust and financial stability.
Corruption
Offering a government official or other outsider money or another financial benefit in exchange for preferential treatment is a particularly dangerous form of corporate fraud that can destroy a business's reputation and profitability.
Fraudulent transfers
This type of corporate fraud happens when one party transfers assets to another to avoid debts. Our attorneys work with some of the top forensic accountants in the business and have extensive experience tracking down assets and identifying fraudulent transfers.
