The first few hours of an investigation can secure critical evidence and set the tone for everything that follows. This article examines the investigative and legal options available in the early phases of dealing with fraud, including how to use disclosure orders against banks in order to trace the proceeds of a fraud, and how to make the best use of freezing orders against fraudsters. The authors explain the critical issue of following the money, without which any investigation and legal action will achieve no more than a mere understanding of how the victim was defrauded.
