EXPERT CAScope of forensic accounting engagements
Forensic examinations may address unexplained disbursements, revenue recognition, cash-flow irregularities, related-party transactions, shareholder disputes, damages, asset transfers, and allegations of concealment or misappropriation. The appropriate approach depends on the allegations, available records, applicable accounting framework, and legal questions presented by counsel.
Evidence and analytical methodology
Work commonly begins with a source-document inventory and reconciliation of bank statements, general ledgers, journal entries, invoices, contracts, payment records, and corporate documents. Transaction-level testing can identify unsupported entries, timing anomalies, unusual counterparties, and differences between recorded activity and underlying economic substance. Findings should distinguish verified transactions from inferences and unresolved information gaps.
Litigation-ready findings
Analytical schedules, source citations, assumptions, alternative explanations, and limitations are documented so that the work can be reviewed, replicated where practical, and explained in a deposition or courtroom. Expert CA supports counsel in defining financially testable questions without substituting accounting opinions for legal conclusions.
