Forensics
Forensics is an independent investigation into the facts concerning the economic, organisational, or other spheres of activity of a borrowing company. Conducted by engaged specialists, it aims at assessing the risks associated with the provision and use of credit funds, the l’egitimacy of their use, and the recovery of stolen or concealed assets.
Amid economic instability, lending-related risks increase significantly. These risks can stem not only from objective economic difficulties but also from the unscrupulous actions of borrowers. However, damages resulting from such actions can be recovered if evidence of fraud and its connection to the incurred losses is established.
FBK possesses more than 25 years of experience in conducting forensic investigations for financial sector companies, including examinations concerning borrowers engaged in fraudulent activities.
