Ask any loan officer what takes up most of their day, and you’ll hear the same complaint: bank statement reviews. Think about it – if you’re spending 2-3 hours per application, that’s basically half your work week just on paperwork. No wonder loan officers are burning out.

In the last few years, financial forensic investigations have changed a lot. You might be surprised to learn that forensic auditors used to spend 30 to 45 days going through bank statements by hand and following money trails across several accounts.
