At the heart of all successful forensic accounting engagements or fraud investigations is the reliance and analysis of evidence. Best circumstantial evidence in a financial investigation are sources of information or data that are furthest removed from the influence of a subject. If you want to ensure that you uncover facts resulting in defensible investigative analyses in your cases, you are in the right place. In this six-part series, Leah Wietholter reviews the most common best evidence data sources in order of reliability by exchanging seats from host to guest to thoroughly discuss this topic with guest host, Bethany Pigott.
