Neutral and responsible forensic investigations
Forensic accountancy focuses on collecting, investigating, processing, analysing, and reporting financial data for evidence of facts for legal purposes. In a variety of financial-legal issues, we act as a link between business owners, lawyers, and bankruptcy trustees. Examples include fraud investigation, financial-administrative investigation in legal proceedings, and bankruptcy investigation. In the role of executor of the research or as advisor to the person being investigated. We offer specialist knowledge, integrity, and an IT-driven transparent investigation process.
Highly skilled, impartial and transparent: finding truth based on facts.
Our expert team of forensic accountants conducts investigations in a neutral manner. We vouch for our findings and ensure an understandable representation of them in our reports. Where possible we add business economics and financial explanations to our findings.
We thrive on streamlined communication and a personalized touch. That’s why we encourage you to reach out directly to our team of dedicated specialists.
Clients and parties involved
We work on behalf of businesses, professional parties, lawyers, and trustees, among others. We act as binding advisors and as judicial (valuation) experts. In every assignment, we attach great importance to constructive cooperation with our clients and all parties involved. The circumstances in which a forensic investigation takes place often have a significant impact on those involved. We take that into account.
Forensics and (information) technology
An indispensable part of forensic accountancy is securing and efficiently analysing data. Our team has the expertise to secure data “forensic sound” and, using data analysis, to identify irregularities, establish links between data, and investigate data leaks. We provide verifiable and effective analyses, careful documentation, and expert advice. We also make indexed data available to you in an efficient manner.
Litigation: support in legal proceedings
In legal proceedings, we act as a litigation expert. Ideally, we are involved in this process at an early stage. In close cooperation with the lawyer involved, we investigate what position needs to be substantiated and what the research question should be. We then conduct the investigation pragmatically and objectively.
We draft the report in coordination with both the client and the lawyer involved. We also prefer to give the opposing side the opportunity to respond at this stage. In this way, we achieve a balanced report with a neutral and substantiated description of the findings. By doing so, we overcome defences at a later stage and strengthen our client’s litigation position.
Fraud expertise in the annual audit
The supervisory authorities, AFM, and the professional organization NBA, are increasingly urging accounting firms to take a more rigorous approach to addressing fraud risks during their annual account audits. When carrying out the audit, the team must have sufficient expertise, time, and resources available. This also includes the use of fraud expertise.
Not every office has an in-house fraud expert. In that case, we are happy to support accounting organisations in the best way suitable. This support encompasses a range of services, including training for audit teams, assistance during the audit’s planning and execution phases, and the availability of expert consultation. Our objective is to foster a critical mindset within your organization, recognizing that fraud risks can indeed materialize. We are dedicated to addressing these risks comprehensively, with a particular emphasis on addressing corruption and understanding the implications of IT systems
