East Northport, NY (PRWEB) August 07, 2013 -- Peggy Tracy, CFP®, CDFA, CFE, will address members of the Association of Divorce Financial Planners during the 11th Annual ADFP Conference, September 19-21 in Chicago, Illinois. Ms. Tracy’s presentation, “Finding Hidden Money through Forensics”, takes place on Saturday. Her session provides basic and advanced knowledge of marital fraud, the sources and uses of funds, situations where dissipation of marital assets might occur, types of fraud evidence and examining for fraud.
“Many divorces deal with the financial effect of assets that are missing, hidden or dissipated,” explained Ms. Tracy. “It’s valuable to understand investigative accounting and how direct evidence can often change the entire divorce settlement to a client’s advantage. It’s all in the paper trail.”
According to Andrew Samalin, president of ADFP, Ms. Tracy’s presentation is a must see for conference attendees. “As divorce financial planners, it’s easy to help clients with decisions about the assets they can see. The difficulty lies in what may be hidden,” he said. “As an expert in forensic accounting, Peggy Tracy can provide insight into how to uncover those hidden assets.”
