You might think that the sources could only be accounting documents, payroll records, personnel files, internal memos and accounting system information. 
Well, there are many other sources such as:

  • Public Records

Although there are multiple public records available on companies and individuals, a good insurance fraud investigator in Dallas would know how to identify and retrieve only the useful and accurate records. To access this type of information becomes very easy with data aggregators. They include searches like criminal, civil, and bankruptcy records, vehicle registration information driver’s license data, and real estate records. They may even include director and officer information, registered agent address and incorporation paperwork.
Information from these sources can be used by a financial fraud investigator in Dallas to know about the assets and activities of businesses and people.

  • Non-Public Records

When a company investigates an employee it does not have an absolute right on personal records like banking information and federal tax returns. If they are imperative to the case then a judge may authorize access. Sometimes the documents might get voluntarily released in the interest of full disclosure.
Cash outflows and inflows can be studied through the banking records. These records become imperative when it comes to assembling a paper trail of the money. The other useful private records may include credit reports, telephone records, mortgage loan files, and credit card statements.

  • Other Records

Internet websites and search engines provide lots of information. It’s important to know what is reliable, where to look, and how to get the best out of it all. Information on board members, management, and ownership is provided by corporate websites. Filtering the relevant ones is a skill.
When it comes to a fraud investigation it’s wise to refer to multiple search engines for information. Also looking beyond search engine data becomes imperative here.
Apart from the three mentioned above there are other sources as well. The most important thing is to look for information that is current and reliable regardless of the source.  Hence, hiring a professional firm like ‘Investigative Resources of Texas’ is the way to go!
