Our Results in Financial Services

₦336 Million Fraud Investigation and Claims Adjustment

We were engaged to investigate and adjust a claim involving fraudulent fund diversion at a financial institution. The case centered on an ex-employee who exploited system vulnerabilities to misappropriate over ₦336 million through unauthorized profit distributions. 

Our investigation included interviews, forensic analysis, and collaboration with law enforcement agencies. We identified control lapses, recovered ₦58 million, and recommended system improvements to prevent recurrence. 

The adjusted claim settlement of ₦194.7 million reflected contributory negligence penalties due to control failures. This case underscores our expertise in fraud claims management and delivering tailored solutions for complex financial losses.

Business Interruption Claim Adjustment for Waste Tyre Recycling Plant

We successfully adjusted a business interruption claim for a waste tyre recycling plant following a breakdown of critical equipment. The incident, caused by a fire and subsequent mechanical failure, halted production of pyrolysis oil, resulting in significant revenue losses.
 

Using forensic accounting and policy analysis, we reviewed financial records and calculated the insured loss at ₦144.6 million, down from the initial claim of ₦519.1 million due to policy terms and underinsurance factors.
 

This case demonstrates our expertise in accurately evaluating complex business interruption claims, ensuring fair settlements while safeguarding insurers against inflated losses.

₦43 Million Business Interruption Claim Adjustment

We adjusted a business interruption claim for a rice milling factory in the northern part of Nigeria following a fire incident that halted production for 15 days. The fire caused significant operational disruptions, including the loss of 320 tons of paddy rice in processing.
 

The insured presented a claim of ₦156.5 million, which we meticulously reviewed using forensic accounting and policy analysis.

After accounting for underinsurance, time excess, and policy terms, the claim was adjusted to ₦43 million. This case demonstrates our expertise in managing complex business interruption claims, ensuring accurate settlements while safeguarding insurers against inflated losses.
