From the situation to investigation deliverables.

See which facts need clarification, the relevant services and the deliverable associated with each one.

SITUATION 01

A transfer requested in a family member's name

A message apparently sent by a family member or adviser requests an urgent transfer. After payment, the instruction is disputed. The team needs to examine the communications, approvals and destination account details to establish whether funds were diverted and how it happened.
