KW Economics provides fraud and tracing analysis for cases venued in Grand Rapids, Michigan. For an entity based in Grand Rapids, 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 Grand Rapids are typically heard in the Circuit Court sitting in Kent County. Deposition and trial testimony are available for Grand Rapids matters, in person or by remote appearance where the forum allows.

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.
