Understanding the role of asset tracing and the different methods available is key to any financial investigation. Tracing assets is a complex task, requiring skilled financial and legal experts to 'follow the money' by untangling a web of transactions to locate misappropriated assets now held by various individuals of companies.
The Australian legal system provides a number of options for victims of fraud or breach of fiduciary duty who are seeking to trace misappropriated property and recover lost funds. However, complex legal appointment and priority rules mean that expertise in utilising the appropriate methodology can make a substantial difference in determining which assets and exactly how much can be recovered.
In this webinar, HFW Partner Ranjani Sundar will facilitate a discussion between Kelly Rigby, Forensic Consulting Partner a Grant Thornton and Jo Delaney, Partner at HFW, exploring the asset tracing options available in different scenarios, the legal framework for establishing a claim and the use of freezing orders and enforcement proceedings to maximise your recovery.
