When Standard Accounting Isn't Enough
Financial disputes demand proof, not assumptions
Partnership dissolution, shareholder disagreements, business valuation challenges, courts and arbitrators demand documented evidence, defendable methodologies, and experts who can withstand cross-examination. General opinions don’t hold up under legal scrutiny.
Fraud suspicions require investigation, not reconciliation
Unexplained cash shortages, inventory discrepancies, unusual transactions, fraudsters understand accounting and exploit control gaps. Detecting sophisticated concealment requires investigative techniques and specialized training that most accountants don’t possess.
Regulatory investigations escalate fast
When tax authorities, securities regulators, and government agencies arrive with document requests, clients need forensic analysis that identifies issues proactively and provides expert support throughout examination processes. Reactive compliance creates vulnerability.
Litigation support transcends bookkeeping
Financial litigation requires experts who understand both accounting and legal process. Opposing counsel will attack every assumption. Clients need forensic accountants who’ve testified repeatedly, communicate complex concepts clearly, and maintain composure under pressure.

Forensic accounting combines accounting expertise with investigative skills to examine financial records for legal purposes. It's needed when fraud is suspected, during divorce proceedings involving business assets, in shareholder disputes, for litigation support, insurance claims, economic damage calculations, and when hidden assets need to be traced. We translate complex financial data into clear evidence suitable for legal proceedings.
We investigate employee embezzlement, financial statement manipulation, money laundering, tax evasion, asset misappropriation, vendor fraud, payroll schemes, insurance fraud, identity theft, kickback arrangements, and corruption. Our team analyzes financial patterns, traces suspicious transactions, interviews relevant parties, and documents evidence to determine if financial crimes occurred and quantify losses for recovery or prosecution.
Investigation timelines vary based on complexity and data volume. A simple fraud investigation could take about 2-4 weeks to complete, whereas a more complex investigation, involving an investigation of multiple business entities, could take from 2-3 months. Business valuations typically need 3-6 weeks. We provide estimated timelines during initial consultation and keep attorneys and clients updated throughout. For urgent litigation deadlines, we can expedite certain aspects while maintaining thorough analysis standards.
Forensic accounting goes beyond standard financial reporting. While auditors verify financial statements for accuracy, forensic accountants investigate suspected fraud, trace hidden assets, and provide evidence for legal proceedings. We employ investigative techniques, interview witnesses, reconstruct financial transactions, and prepare findings specifically for courtroom presentation. Our work requires specialized training, a skeptical mindset, and an understanding of legal standards that regular accountants don't typically possess.
