The Lichtenberg Financial Decision Rating Scale (LFDRS) is a person-centered tool for analyzing the integrity of financial decision-making abilities.  This study examines the cross-validation of the LFDRS Scale to assess its concurrent validity with a measure of executive functioning and suspected financial exploitation (FE).


 The total LFDRS was significantly related to executive functioning.


 Trail Making Test Part B was the only significant predictor of the LFDRS total score in a regression equation.  An independent sample t-test showed that victims of FE scored higher on the LFDRS than those who were not victims.


 These findings are consistent with the initial validation study of the LFDRS and the initial study on the intersection of decision-making and FE (Lichtenberg et al., 2017, 2020) and adds evidence supporting the LFDRS concurrent validity.
