Regulatory Compliance & Enforcement

Our former regulators know exactly how authorities investigate fraud because they wrote and enforced the rules themselves.

  • License and registration verification
  • Formal complaints to regulatory authorities
  • Regulatory breach and conduct analysis
  • Public warnings and investor alert submissions

Financial Audits & Due Diligence

Before you invest, or after you suspect fraud, an independent audit reveals the truth behind the numbers.

Our audit team conducts rigorous reviews of investment portfolios, fund structures, and company financials. We identify red flags such as fabricated returns, commingled client funds, related-party transactions, and undisclosed liabilities that standard accountants may miss.

  • Pre-investment due diligence for institutions
  • Post-fraud forensic accounting
  • Fund and portfolio reconciliation
  • Court-ready expert witness reports
Learn About Audits

Red flags we uncover

  • Fabricated or inflated performance data
  • Client funds mixed with operational accounts
  • Undisclosed related-party transfers
  • Missing or altered audit trails
  • Shell company layering structures
Cyber Division

Digital Forensics & Cyber Intelligence

Modern fraud leaves a digital trail. Our cyber experts find it, preserve it, and turn it into evidence.

Scammers rely on technology to deceive: cloned websites, fake trading platforms, encrypted messaging, and cryptocurrency obfuscation. FTO-Union's cyber division reverse-engineers these operations, recovers deleted communications, and maps the infrastructure connecting victims to perpetrators.

  • Blockchain and cryptocurrency transaction tracing
  • Website, domain, and server infrastructure analysis
  • Recovery of deleted chats, emails, and platform data
  • Secure evidence chain-of-custody for legal proceedings
Submit Digital Evidence
