In this practical presentation, Elissa Wu, CPA, CFE, principal forensic accountant at Summit Forensics, will show investors how to look beyond the pitch by identifying which financial records to request, testing key assumptions, evaluating each partner’s contributions, and recognizing red flags before money is committed.
