Forensic Accounting
Forensic Accounting
Forensic accountants analyse financial records, transactions, and reports to provide expert opinions and support legal proceedings.
This area of accounting plays a crucial role in:
- Investigating financial misconduct
- Uncovering hidden asset
- Quantifying economic damages, and
- Presenting findings in a manner suitable for litigation or dispute resolution
Our forensic accounting team explain clearly the financial issues to settle disputes.
Our forensic accounting services
Our services include:
Expert witness
Our team are experts in dispute resolution and provide expert witness services, whether in litigation, arbitration, mediation, expert determination or informal negotiation. We offer a cost-effective solution, prompting an early negotiated settlement or a decision to proceed to litigation. Our projects include commercial disputes, international arbitration, and transactional shareholder disputes.
Fraud investigations
Internal fraud can consume significant amounts of senior management time and resources, as well as have a damaging effect on morale and trust. In any company, there can be a need for fraud investigations. Our forensic team has experience in many ad-hoc financial investigations and can apply our skills in a wide and varied set of circumstances.
Matrimonial disputes
Our expert team handle matrimonial disputes with professional objectivity and empathy, aiming for fair and swift resolutions that benefit the whole family. We assess settlement feasibilities and consider tax impacts, offering expert witness services, advice, and support throughout the process.
Criminal and regulatory
Business is becoming more sophisticated, and the need for experienced forensic accountants, whether working for the prosecution or the defence, is increasingly important. Our cases have included theft, fraudulent trading, VAT and tax fraud, investment fraud, false accounting, and expenses fraud.
Criminal confiscation
The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 ("POCA") ensures that an Application for Confiscation quickly follows a criminal conviction involving the proceeds of crime. We bring expertise in forensic accounting and financial investigations to help businesses facing challenges related to criminal proceedings and asset recovery.
Forensic insolvency
Mistakes can happen. Investigations into a company failure, either through the negligence or misconduct of its director(s), may benefit from a specialist in Forensic Accounting Services to identify potential areas of concern.
