M. Yakubu& Associates

Financial & Forensic

Follow the money, then prove it.

We investigate suspected fraud, reconstruct financial trails and quantify loss to a standard that stands up in court. The work is run under legal privilege, so findings can support an internal decision, a regulatory response, or a claim — without exposing you before you are ready.

Our process

5 stages
01

Scoping and preservation

We define the question to be answered, secure the relevant records and devices, and preserve evidence properly so nothing is later challenged as tainted.

02

Financial reconstruction

Ledgers, bank statements, invoices and payment flows are rebuilt to show what actually happened, transaction by transaction.

03

Asset tracing

We follow proceeds through accounts, corporate vehicles and third parties, and identify what can realistically be recovered or frozen.

04

Interviews and corroboration

Fact-finding interviews are conducted carefully and documented, and findings are cross-checked against independent records.

05

Reporting and next steps

You receive a clear, defensible report with quantified loss, and advice on recovery action, regulatory reporting or disciplinary steps.

What clients receive
