Our Forensic Accounting Process
Every business, asset and claim is different and this is reflected through our forensic accounting services. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to forensic accounting, and that’s why our forensic accounting strategies are specifically tailored towards our clients.
Our typical process is outlined below:
1. Initial no-cost review
We commence by reviewing information regarding the business and/or dispute to the extent that this is available. This review allows us to make an early determination of the nature of investigations we will need to undertake, as well as to understand the technical approaches required in providing advice on the business or dispute.
2. Confirm scope of engagement and advise professional fees
Following the conduct of our initial review, we will advise you of our professional fees to undertake our forensic accounting services, and the scope of our engagement.
3. Data and information request
We prepare a thorough information and data request schedule to ensure we can prepare our advice. This data request is typically tailored to lessen the stress and the pressure involved when our clients gather their data.
4. Initial data and information review
We review the data and information provided in response to our information and data request schedule. We then conduct technical analysis, and review any additional data or information required to complete our forensic accounting services.
5. Forensic expert advice preparation
We will provide you with a report presenting our expert opinion in relation to the business and/or dispute. We also provide comprehensive explanations to provide reasoning for our advice and calculations.
6. Meetings with you and your advisors
We typically conduct regular meetings with you and your other professional advisors, such as your accountants and lawyers. This is to provide time-sensitive advice regarding the nature of the dispute and the proposed advice. We are committed to maintaining ongoing communication and engagement with our clients.
