These investigations often entail interviews of personnel who had access to the funds and a detailed review of the documentary evidence. The assets to be evaluated and valued may be businesses, property or other assets. If the professional in question is an accountant then we are often involved with both perspectives. If the matter involves some other professional the forensic accountant will normally be retained to perform only a loss quantification. Let's face it, the litigation process is not what it used to be.
Cases are more complex, and favorable verdicts are harder to achieve.
Pretrial proceedings can take months and, in many cases, hold the key to whether your client will ultimately prevail. As a result, you need every weapon in your arsenal when you prepare for trial. As experienced professionals, we conduct fraud investigations, analyze records, prepare trial exhibits containing financial information, serve as expert witnesses, help with depositions, and at times, have even been asked to assess, from a financial perspective, whether the dispute at hand is even worth litigating. Whether your case involves millions of dollars or thousands, we will work by your side to make sure that you have given your client the best representation available. And those late Friday afternoon calls announcing that you need something for a case on Monday morning are no surprise to us.
