KW Economics provides fraud and tracing analysis for cases venued in Washington, the District of Columbia. For an entity based in Washington, the records reconciliation and the funds-flow tracing are venue-independent: they run through the entity's own bank, ledger, and payment records and the accounts the funds moved into, and each transfer is documented to its source so the loss for each scheme can be tested at deposition. The local forum governs discovery and how the schedules are presented, and the report establishes what happened to the money without opining on intent. Civil claims arising in Washington are typically heard in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Deposition and trial testimony are available for Washington matters, in person or by remote appearance where the forum allows.
Washington sits in the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metropolitan area, and where an analysis calls for local economic data, the figures for that area, rather than a statewide average, are the ones used. Plaintiff and defense.
Forensic accounting for embezzlement, misappropriation, and financial statement irregularities. The work reconstructs the flow of funds through bank, ledger, and payment records, traces diverted assets to where they came to rest, quantifies the loss for each scheme identified, and documents the evidence trail so it can support a civil claim, an insurance recovery, or a referral to authorities.
KW Economics serves counsel throughout Washington and the surrounding District of Columbia area. Our economists trace the flow of funds through the entity's own bank, ledger, and payment records and the accounts the funds moved into, and quantify the loss for each scheme identified, and are familiar with the court system and disclosure requirements that affect fraud and tracing engagements in the District of Columbia.

Yes. KW Economics provides fraud and tracing analysis for attorneys handling matters venued in Washington, the District of Columbia, for plaintiff and defense counsel across the case mix common to Washington matters.
Bank statements, the general ledger, payment records, and the account records the diverted funds moved into. The tracing follows each transfer from its source to where the funds came to rest, quantifies the loss for each scheme identified, and documents the evidence trail so it can support a civil claim, an insurance recovery, or a referral. Whether the conduct was fraudulent is a question for the fact finder, and the report does not reach it.
KW Economics provides tracing schedules with the supporting documents indexed to each transaction, loss quantifications by scheme and period, reports written to support a civil claim, an insurance recovery, or a referral, reviews and rebuttals of opposing accounting analyses, and deposition and trial testimony. The appropriate deliverable depends on case posture.
