What Is Misappropriation & Siphoning of Funds?
DeMisappropriation of funds and siphoning of money are serious financial offenses that involve the unauthorized use or diversion of funds by individuals in positions of trust — often seen in companies, partnerships, NGOs, startups, and government bodies.
Such conduct may include:

• •Diversion of company funds to personal accounts
• •Unaccounted withdrawals or ghost transactions
• •Manipulation of books, invoices, or vendor payments

These cases involve high-value transactions, forensic evidence, internal audits, and regulatory compliance. A specialized lawyer is essential to protect your interests and reputation.
Here’s why legal counsel is critical:

• • Complex Financial & Legal Nature: Lawyers help interpret financial records, audit trails, and corporate responsibilities.
• • Corporate vs. Personal Liability: A lawyer can help establish who is legally liable — company, director, partner, or employee.
