San Diego Accounting Fraud Attorney

Experienced Southern California Fraud Defense Lawyer

In the case of accounting fraud charges, federal investigators and prosecutors are often involved. In these situations, the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) or other government agencies may have spent months and even years amassing evidence against a person or company. These agencies will not press charges or make the case public in any way until they have a strong case backed by physical evidence. Government prosecutors will likely show no leniency in negotiating a settlement or alternative or lessened sentencing in case of a trial.

Information on Accounting Fraud in California

Misusing and misdirecting funds, along with overstating assets and revenues and understating liabilities and expenses, comprises accounting fraud. This “creative accounting” creates a deceiving image of a company’s success and serves to defraud investors, customers and shareholders. Most often perpetrated by executives in public companies, large and small, accounting fraud can total in thousands to millions or even billions of dollars of losses. Most often, restitution, along with jail or probation, is the sentence for an accounting fraud charge. But when the amount of restitution required is more than all of your personal assets combined, what can you do?

By working with a skilled accounting fraud defense lawyer, you have the chance of avoiding having charges filed at all, of settling out of court, of facing alternative or lessened sentencing, or possibly having your case dismissed altogether. San Diego accounting fraud lawyer James Dicks offers a free consultation to discuss your case and see what can be done.
