Course Title: "Following the Money in Financial Disputes – Tracing Funds, Reconstructing Transactions, and Building Defensible Economic Models" 

Presenter: Wendy Hlebinsky, CPA/CFF, CFE, Frazier & Deeter Advisory LLC

Wendy Hlebinsky is a Virginia-licensed CPA, Certified in Financial Forensics, and a Certified Fraud Examiner. As a Senior Manager in Frazier & Deeter’s Litigation, Forensics, and Valuation group, she focuses on trust and estate disputes, financial investigations, economic damages, and complex financial analysis and money laundering.

Hlebinsky previously managed the financial analyses for more than 100 federal criminal investigations involving money laundering, fraud, asset misappropriation, and cryptocurrency. Her work included court-approved equitable tracing methods, flow-of-funds analysis, and lifestyle analysis in matters associated with more than $1 billion in seizures and forfeitures.

Her forensic accounting background, law-enforcement experience, and litigation-focused approach bring FD’s national advisory resources to matters in which financial proof must be organized, explainable, and durable. Together, Hlebinsky and FD help counsel find the money, understand the evidence, and convert complex financial activity into clear, defensible proof.

Summary:

Financial disputes require both reconstructing the movement of funds and quantifying the resulting economic impact – yet counsel rarely starts with a clean record. Partial statements, commingled accounts, unexplained transfers, incomplete business records, and competing narratives are the norm. This session gives attorneys a practical framework for identifying, preserving, and obtaining relevant financial records, reconstructing financial activity, evaluating tracing and economic damages analyses, and recognizing when early involvement by a forensic accountant can strengthen case development.
