Analysis of data and financial information within a legal dispute is regularly called upon as a key and reliable – and objective – piece of evidence when it comes to establishing true value, finding proof of issues, or spotting early warning signs requiring attention.

However, this financial information is often not always complete, crucial parts are overlooked and can be affected by a range of internal and external factors.

Finding this information and giving it a practical meaning and application requires specialist skills and technology.

Our Forensic Consulting team works with intermediaries and clients to independently find, understand and articulate the financial information of businesses, industry trends, and economic activity. This information is crucial to establishing the key issues of a dispute – be that commercial litigation or family law – and is critical evidence to issues you are investigating and can help you meet your regulatory obligations, like payroll assurance.

We stay across the latest developments affecting forensic accounting, from new technologies and industry trends to recent judgments impacting related matters and future investigations.
