Florida Accounting Fraud Attorney
In the past, what is now treated as accounting fraud was considered a civil, not criminal offense. Today, deceptive accounting practices have come under much greater scrutiny and as a result, lawmakers and prosecutors have responded aggressively to describe or prosecute what may actually be one, or a series of mistakes, as a crime. Consequently, accounting discrepancies are, now considered a criminal offense. If you have been charged criminally as a result of an accounting error or practice, contact a criminal defense attorney to explore your legal options.
Bank Fraud
Bank fraud involves the use of fraudulent means to obtain money, assets or other property owned or held by a financial institution. Today, this crime is tied very closely to mortgage fraud or loan fraud, in which false information is used in order to borrow money. In many bank fraud cases, an individual or corporation will provide false or misleading data to a bank to seek credit or loans.
Wire Fraud
Any time electronic communications are used in fraudulent activity — including the use of a telephone, a fax machine or text messaging — an individual could be charged with wire fraud. Wire fraud could correspond with any other type of fraud, from bank fraud to embezzlement. Prosecution for wire fraud has broadened in recent years in the past years, and often times is charged with a second corresponding crime, including money laundering and other financial crimes.
