Claim One:
1. A method of identifying a document comprising forged information using a computer system, comprising: providing the document to the computer system, wherein the document provided to the computer system comprises one or more signature information fields and one or more non-signature information fields; the computer system comparing handwriting in at least two of the information fields of the document provided to the computer system to one or more forger writing profile representations from one or more signature information fields of at least one document comprising forged information associated with a known forger and from one or more non-signature information fields of the at least one document comprising forged information associated with the known forger, wherein comparing handwriting in the at least two information fields comprises: the computer system comparing handwriting in at least one of the signature information field of the document provided to the computer system to handwriting from at least one signature information field of the document comprising forged information associated with the known forger in at least one forger writing profile representation of the forger writing profile representations; and the computer system comparing handwriting in at least one of the one or more non-signature information fields of the document provided to the computer system to handwriting in a corresponding non-signature information field from the at least one document comprising forged information associated with the known forger in the at least one forger writing profile representation, wherein comparing handwriting in at least one of the one or more non-signature information fields of the document to handwriting in a corresponding non-signature information field from the at least one document comprising forged information comprises: the computer system comparing handwriting in an amount field of the document provided to the computer system to handwriting in a corresponding amount field from the at least one document comprising forged information associated with the known forger in the at least one forger writing profile representation; the computer system determining one or more variances in handwriting within the amount field of the document provided to the computer system, wherein the one or more variances in handwriting within the amount field include written characters of the same type being written by at least two different individuals; identifying the document provided to the computer system as a document comprising forged information from: an approximate match of the handwriting associated with the known forger in the at least one forger writing profile representation with the handwriting in the document provided to the computer system; and the determined one or more variances within the amount field including the written characters of the same type being written by at least two different individuals; and assessing fraud in the document provided to the computer system using at least one of the comparisons, wherein evidence of fraud comprises the identification of the document provided to the computer system as a document comprising forged information based on the approximate match of the handwriting associated with the known forger with the handwriting in the document provided to the computer system and the determined one more variances within the amount field of the document provided to the computer system.
