If a customers mortgage files have been received from a bank and it proves fraudulent activity on the part of certain individuals in the loan approval dept of the bank in seriously altering figures etc (from documentation supplied to them), what should be the next step? Garda fraud squad? Media?
what to do if fraud discovered in bank?

Accusing someone of fraud, especially someone who works in finance is a very serious thing and you better be absolutely sure of your facts before you do so or you could find yourself in court if you get it wrong!
Did someone actually change one of the document you submitted? Did you hand the documents directly to the bank officials or was there a third party involved?
Have you experience of uncovering fraud before? Do you really understand what you are looking at?
You should also be aware that staff may use all sorts of calculations and projecting in coming to their decision, so just because they happened to use a different set of figures does not make it a crime.
And the next question to consider is why would they do this? How can the benefit from such an action?
I would strongly advise you to proceed with caution and suggest that you ask the bank for an explanation of the figures before you jump to conclusions.
