So, what is Forensic Accountancy?
Forensic is defined as ‘used or applied in the investigation and establishment of facts or evidence in a court of law.’
A forensic accountant uses a combination of accounting, investigative and legal skills to provide an accounting analysis that is suitable to the court, and will form the basis for discussion, debate and ultimately dispute resolution.
Forensic accountants are usually instructed to analyse, interpret, summarise and present complex financial and business related issues in a manner which is both readily understandable and properly supported.
Typical forensic examples include:
- Reviewing the current financial evidence and providing suggestions for possible courses of action.
- Helping to obtain the required documentation to support or reject a claim.
- Reviewing the documentation obtained to give an initial opinion of the case and identify potential areas of loss.
- Reviewing the report prepared by the opposing expert forensic accountant and discussing the strengths and weakness of their report, and occasionally, but with increasing frequency, providing a statement of joint experts.
- Assistance with case conferences, negotiations and any settlement discussions that may take place.
- Attending meetings with counsel, attending court to hear and provide evidence as an expert witness.
