Litigation Support

Assistance in litigation matters, dispute resolutions, or financial claim settlements involves much more than writing a report and possibly testifying in a court of law.

The real work is obtaining evidential matter to support report conclusions and testimony. Document examination and financial analysis are fundamental. The discovery process must be performed efficiently to avoid opposing objections to overly burdensome request for document production and unnecessary costs. Knowing what to look for requires experience and knowledge of accounting systems and procedures.

Experience in financial auditing, accounting systems, and internal control evaluations provides that knowledge, and we bring decades of exactly that kind of experience to the forensic accounting analysis and litigation engagement.

Thomas A.
