Detailed Standards
How expert accounting evidence is prepared for major global proceedings.
Under CPR Part 35, a financial expert witness owes an overriding duty to the court that takes precedence over any obligation to the instructing party. Expert opinions must be objective, unbiased, and confined to areas of genuine expertise.
Reports must follow Practice Direction 35, including a formal expert declaration, statement of truth, and confirmation that the expert understands their primary allegiance is to the court rather than the instructing firm.
Single joint expert (SJE) instructions require neutral joint frameworks and transparent scope. In adversarial proceedings, experts must disclose all assumptions, data limitations, ranges of opinion, and instructions received.
Application of Daubert gatekeeping criteria to forensic accounting methodology: testability, peer review, known error rate, general acceptance, and reliable application to the facts of the case.
Written expert reports under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26 must include qualifications, compensation, prior testimony, and a complete statement of opinions with bases and data relied upon.
Methodologies must be documented, peer-reviewable, and clearly separated from factual findings and opinion testimony.
Reports in cross-border commercial arbitration must summarize instructions, assumptions, methodology, and opinions with sufficient clarity for tribunals and opposing parties under IBA Rules.
Tribunal-appointed experts must maintain independence. Joint expert processes require structured disclosure and transparent handling of supplementary instructions.
Many international matters involve overseas entities and banking chains. Forensic work must document chain of custody, jurisdictional limitations, and the evidential weight of third-party records obtained abroad.
