QUESTION 1
Financial investigation refers to the process of gathering, verifying, analysing, and
interpreting financial data to uncover hidden income, detect fraud, or support criminal
investigations. It is mainly used by forensic or criminal investigators to trace the flow of
money, determine unexplained wealth, and assess whether individuals are living beyond
their known means. This investigation includes reviewing bank statements, accounting
records, assets, liabilities, and lifestyle habits. It helps uncover illicit activities, especially
where direct evidence is lacking, by creating a financial profile of the suspect.
Unlike forensic auditing or accounting, which may involve complex financial
computations, financial investigation focuses on understanding and proving financial
behaviour relevant to suspected crimes. It must be done legally, often requiring court
orders or subpoenas.
