Can recovery of traced funds be guaranteed?

No. Identifying information about assets does not guarantee their availability or recovery of the amount lost. The outcome depends on the circumstances and the measures assessed by legal counsel and the competent authorities.

Does Baruch freeze assets, seize property or conduct legal proceedings?

Baruch’s role in this workstream is investigation and intelligence: tracing information, analysing relationships and organising evidence. Legal counsel assesses and conducts the appropriate legal measures, while actions reserved for competent authorities are carried out by those authorities.

What information is needed to begin asset tracing?

Information about the loss, the parties involved and known transactions helps define a starting point. Existing reports, contracts and available receipts can guide the research; the initial assessment identifies gaps and defines the scope.

Clarity for your decision

How does asset tracing help a company pursue diverted funds?

Asset tracing connects transactions, people, companies and ownership information to investigate where diverted funds went. Baruch organises findings into relationship maps and dossiers that support legal counsel’s assessment of available measures. Recovery depends on the assets identified, the measures available and the circumstances of each case.

Who it serves

Trace assets and relationships: We analyse documents and lawfully accessible sources to reconstruct flows and identify asset information.
