Motive in Fraud Cases Webinar

Prying Open the Elusive Door of Motive in Fraud Cases

Presented by Mura & Storm, PLLC and FAZ Forensics
Thursday, June 25, 2020 from Noon to 1:15PM EST.

Motive in fraud cases sometimes seems like an elusive door which is not immediately apparent and needs to be pryed open. We will discuss in what types of cases motive must be legally proven. We will examine different types of motive from drugs in the widening opioid epidemic to hidden financial distress, among others, which induce the minds of some to criminal acts. Attendees will learn how to explore motive and once cracked open, how to widen the door through probing questions. We will also identify financial records to request and will be given tips on how to scrutinize them through the experience of a forensic accountant.

Christian was patient and easy to understand. clear, concise and thorough. he spoke “plain” English and was respectful. he did not “rush” and he responded to every question i had, in a timely manner. no matter how “dumb” it may have seemed. for example, i received some paperwork by mail and i did not understand it. i emailed him about it and he cleared it up that day. thats great customer service!
