Sotos Investor Protection Group
A Trusted Partner for Accounting & Tax Professionals
As an accountant or tax professional, you are one of the most trusted advisors to your clients. With an intimate understanding of their financial landscape, you are in a unique position to be the first line of defense against financial irregularities, misconduct, and fraud. Your work provides a clear view into the financial health of your client’s business and investment portfolio.
When you uncover discrepancies that point to something more serious—such as sophisticated investment fraud or financial crime—you and your client need a specialized legal partner. At Sotos Class Actions, our Investor Protection Group collaborates with accounting professionals to navigate these complex situations, protect client interests, and hold wrongdoers accountable.
Your Role in Identifying Red Flags
Through your professional diligence, you are often the first to spot the warning signs of financial misconduct. These red flags can be subtle and may only become apparent during a detailed financial review.
Signs you might uncover include:
- Concentrated positions in high risk investments.
- High volumes of securities transactions (churning).
- Unusual or unexplained financial transactions.
- Falsified financial statements or forged documents.
When these indicators suggest a client may be a victim of investment fraud, bringing in legal counsel is a critical next step to protect their rights and explore avenues for recovery.
