We frequently identify shortcomings in the disclosures of parties in divorce cases. This is more prevalent in situations where one party has a business and therefore the opportunity to manipulate income and assets. As certified fraud examiners,as well as chartered accountants, we are used to recognising potential misfeasance. Here are some examples:
- underreporting income
- diverting sales to undisclosed companies
- overpaying creditors
- padding the payroll
- transferring assets to offshore accounts
- purchasing expensive items with undeclared cash income
