Fraud offences can be very technical and require the Crown to prove among other things: the accused deprived, with intent, the victim of something they owned of value and that this deprivation was caused by means of deceit, falsehood or fraudulent means. Proving a fraud offence usually will involve a lot of disclosure taking the form of: receipts, accounting ledgers, transaction lists, e-mails, bank accounts. It is important to hire a lawyer like Curtis Mennie who can organize, prepare and review all of these documents to explore all of your potential defences.
