Forensic Accounting & Investigative Services
Forensic accounting relates to a specialist discipline in accountancy when accountants advise in cases that result from actual or anticipated disputes or litigation. In today’s world, society has become more litigious and unfortunately, fraud is a growth industry. In this context, the role of the forensic accountant has become increasingly important.
In its most simplistic form, Forensic Accounting covers two broad areas:
“Forensic deals with issues where facts, people and organisations do not agree…” , Litigation Support / Expert Witness
“…or where financial or other business behavior may not comply with expectations” , Financial Investigations
