    Adjusters,  

    Do you find the contents part of claims as a primary area where fraud is suspected?    If financial forensics and analytics were applied to validate contents claims, would that add value when you adjust claims that appear inflated and fraudulent?   

    Thanks, 

    Vktaylor

    IA's tend not to use the "F" word. That said, yes, personal property is an area that is the most susceptible to "padding", as subsequent to a catastrophic loss, verification of the presence and values of certain items can be difficult. Most savvy adjusters perform their own financial forensics via requesting receipts, credit card statements or photos of the reported inventory. I have no idea how analytics could be applied to a property loss, unless you were going to say that it was statistically possible (or even probable) that an item may have existed, and that really would not put us any farther down the road than we currently already are.
