Forensic Accounting
When a dispute turns on a number, that number has to be built so that it survives challenge.
Overview
What this service is for.
Our forensic accounting service quantifies financial losses and claims arising out of business disputes and transactions. It sits alongside our financial advisory work on disputes, investigations and arbitration.

Our approach
How we work.
Preserve the record
Evidence integrity governs everything that follows.
Reconstruct the transactions
The trail is rebuilt from source records rather than from summaries.
Quantify defensibly
Every figure is traceable to a document and to an assumption that can be stated out loud.
Report for the forum
Findings are written for the audience that will test them — a board, a tribunal or a counterparty.
