Case Study: Uncovering the Full Scope of an Embezzlement Scheme

A prominent organization in the education sector knew embezzlement had taken place under former management. What they didn’t know was how much had been taken, or where the money ended up. Their board of directors turned to Sedra Solutions to find out.

This case study shows how the Sedra platform took an investigation that had required more than 640 hours of manual work (550 hours of data preparation and 90 hours of analysis) and completed it in about 56 hours, while tracing funds across bank statements, accounting ledgers, contracts, court records, and audited financial statements.
