Forensic Accounting and Expert Reports

Over the past few years Kingswood have developed a reputation for providing independent expert witnesses reports, and are regularly providing testimony in court or as part of an arbitration process to support the claims of individual clients or as independent witnesses jointly retained. 

Complex systems and corporate structures are making it increasingly difficult to track transactions and determine whether they have been accounted for correctly.  Therefore, the use of forensic accounting services is often seen as the best way to provide reassurance to all parties concerned.

Business valuation or assessment of financial loss can be highly contentious and often require an independent assessment of the relevant detailed issues to facilitate an agreement between the parties involved.

Consequently, many investigation and reporting requirements are bespoke to a particular set of circumstances.  However, in more general terms our services include:

 

Forensic accounting investigations	Trust Distributions Financial System integrity

Litigation support	Loss of profits Insurance claims Sale & Purchase agreement warranties Fraud
