What Sets Forensic Expert Evidence Apart
Forensic Accounting, Not Routine Audit
Audit work tests compliance with accounting standards. Forensic work assumes deliberate concealment and tests for fraud indicators, related-party flows, journal overrides, and inconsistent disclosure.
Reports Built for UK Procedure
Expert reports are structured for CPR Part 35, Practice Direction 35, and CrimPR Part 19 as appropriate. Instructions, assumptions, documents relied upon, and calculations are documented for court and counsel review.
Evidence That Withstands Cross-Examination
Findings are presented clearly, with assumptions stated and limitations acknowledged. The objective is reliable expert evidence that assists the court or tribunal, not advocacy.
