In addition to it being an incredibly daunting process, it's also a confusing and frustrating journey that can be difficult to navigate with confidence.

And I don't want to shame anyone, because I believe women are still victims of the historical narrative of how we've been trained mentally. That we should be nurturers and kind and not talking about money and all that stuff, because somehow that's looked upon as being anti-feminine. I still think there's a lot of that around. I still hear to this day, which is shocking to me, that people say the minute you get married you should comingle everything. I say that's absolutely not what you should do. You should be intentional about what you do comingle, but you should also keep your eye on the ball of what all the marriage includes."“What should we be doing to try to protect ourselves before we get to this sort of bad situation?”“You're right that it really is hard to protect yourself when it comes to that company. You can't control what they're going to do with that company. What I can say is if you have financial information that you have access to and you collect that and keep it, that is one step. But because we can't control what they're doing with the company, I like to say the better way to protect yourself is thinking about, ‘What can I control? I can have a bank account that is in my name only that I can put money in, that no one can ever close without my permission, that no one can ever access that money without my permission. I can take a step like making sure that you have a credit card in your name only. No one else can charge on that card, no one else can close that card. That is going to be your safeguard if you ever do need to leave or get divorced.”

Divorce is something that all married people hope to not do, but it happens. Even if you are not going through a divorce, you need to know what is available to you in your marriage and look for the red flags within your relationship. Tracy Coenen has been investigating fraud for more than 25 years, but she didn't always want to be a forensic accountant. With a dream of one day being a prison warden, Tracy went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI to get a criminology degree. A class on financial crime investigations reminded her how much she loved Encyclopedia Brown books as a kid. She continued her criminology degree, but added accounting and economics courses so she could sit for the CPA exam… and here Tracy is, finding money in cases of corporate fraud, high net worth divorce, and other financial shenanigans.

Divorce is never a fun scenario, but it can be a nightmare when it comes to finances. Tracy Conan is a renowned forensic accountant and the brains behind the Divorce Money Guide. She uses investigative skills to help her clients track down hidden money or assets when going through a divorce. Speaking of money, not everyone can afford to hire a forensic accountant. That's why Tracy was led to develop the Divorce Money Guide. It's a step-by-step framework that helps you identify where to start and what steps to take. In marriage, it's often divide and conquer, and one spouse ends up taking care of all the finances. This can lead the other to be essentially in the dark. Tracy has 10 steps you can take to figure out your money situation when facing divorce. They can be done in any order, and you only need to do the ones that apply to you. If you're not quite to that point, but have some concerns, Tracy also has a 15 question assessment you can take to look at your money situation and whether or not you should be worried. What You'll Learn: What a forensic accountant does. Who could benefit from the Divorce Money Guide. First financial steps to take when facing divorce.

Tracy Coenen is a Forensic Consultant and Fraud Investigator at Sequence Inc. Forensic Accounting. She is also the creator of the Divorce Money Guide, an online 10-step handbook for people going through divorce who suspect their spouse has been fraudulent. For over 25 years, she has been conducting fraud investigations. She also specializes in family law and divorce, and litigation. Tracy shares how to find out the likelihood of fraud in your marriage, and what to do about hidden investments. In divorces where one spouse is trying to pull the wool over the other's eyes, that spouse is usually the one in charge of the finances. The spouse being deceived typically doesn't know the in and out of every dollar. Financial infidelity involves lying about how much money you have and where the accounts are, having hidden accounts, and spending money inappropriately outside of the agreements you have as spouses. Sending a subpoena to a bank is something your attorney can do to investigate your spouse's transaction history, among other things. A subpoena is a legal document that instructs an institution to comply with an investigation by submitting the relevant documents. If you need support, have a friend or family member who's good with numbers sit with you and go through the information you've collected.

Today, Stephanie and Kevin are joined by Tracy Coenen, a renowned forensic accountant whose work involved fraud investigations on both a corporate level and in divorces. Kevin asks if Tracy's work is as exciting as it seems in the movies. Her work, as she says, is to find the money and is exciting in a different way. To kick off the Take Back Retirement divorce series of episodes, Stephanie inquires why forensic accounting is important in divorces. In many cases, one spouse has a clearer understanding of the state of their finances than the other, and for the spouse who is less involved, they can miss out on a significant amount of money in the division of the marital estate. Contrary to depictions in pop culture, offshore accounts and shell companies aren't all that common. Additional bank accounts unknown to one spouse, however, are far more likely to emerge. A forensic accountant isn't always entirely necessary, Tracy explains, as much can be found by an individual, as outlined in her Divorce Money Guide. She emphasizes the importance of each spouse needing to have an adequate picture of finances to ensure a fair division of assets. She notes that sometimes, like with gambling or money spent on affairs, there is potential for money to be made back. It is not just money that is to be found in these investigations, but also debts that one spouse may not be aware of. In an individual's pursuit of information, Tracy advises, it is important to go through legal channels, and not give a judge reason to question your behavior. Hidden income also can emerge in these investigations, which can easily be found in tax returns. Tracy shares a story of success with a client, where she found utilities being paid on a property the wife was unaware of. Most forensic accountants bill hourly, but Tracy charges a fixed fee. They discuss their estimates of the frequency in which money is hidden from a spouse, and possible gender imbalances in whom money is being hidden from. Regardless of prospective changes in marital status, Tracy encourages less financially savvy spouses to make an effort to be more involved, and suggests how to approach your savvy spouse with questions, something she plans to address in her forthcoming Marriage Money Guide. She also recommends, as she has done, for the financially involved partner to develop contingency plans in the event they can suddenly no longer care for finances. In part, Tracy created the Divorce Money Guide to aid those unable to afford forensic accounting. Key Topics: Introducing Tracy Coenen (00:51) Is forensic accounting exciting?

About today's guest: Tracy Coenen is a Forensic Accountant with Sequence Inc. Forensic Accounting Tracy has been investigating fraud for more than 25 years, but she didn't always want to be a forensic accountant. With a dream of one day being a prison warden, Tracy went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI to get a criminology degree. A class on financial crime investigations reminded her how much she loved Encyclopedia Brown books as a kid. She continued her criminology degree, but added accounting and economics courses so she could sit for the CPA exam… and here Tracy is, finding money in cases of corporate fraud, high net worth divorce, and other financial shenanigans. She has created a new resource, The Divorce Money Guide - check it out!
