Issuance and settlement

Examination of bank bills and altered bills.

Bill analysis compares the received representation with data associated with issuance, payment and settlement, according to available documentation.

Comparable data

Differences need to be located and contextualised, not merely listed.

  • Digit line
  • Barcode
  • Beneficiary and payee
  • Amount and due date
  • Divergent data

Documentary chain

The received document, acquisition channel, issuance chain and settlement information help reconstruct the event.

Limits

The absence of original documents, banking records or issuance information may limit identification of when and how an alteration occurred.

System reading

From the received document to settlement.

The technical comparison follows the documentary and financial chain while keeping each information source explicit.
