Forensic Accountants
Forensic accountancy - by definition this is the ultimate in accountancy techniques & tactics.
Forensic accounting is accountancy that is suitable for legal review, offering the highest level of assurance, we anticipate that our findings or analysis may be subject to adversarial or judicial scrutiny, we active a level of evidentiary detail and analytical precision which will be sustainable within the legal framework. Our engagements are wide-ranging, and include transaction reconstruction and measurement; bankruptcy, matrimonial divorce, and probate asset identification and valuation; falsifications and manipulations of accounts or in the presentation thereof; and accountability within the statutory audit and other environments.
Engagements relating to civil disputes may fall into several categories: calculating and quantifying losses and economically damages, whether suffered through tort or breach of contract; disagreements relating to company acquisitions, and business valuations.
We often assist in professional negligence claims where we are assessing and commenting on the work of other professionals.
Our forensic accountants are also increasingly playing more proactive risk reduction roles by designing and performing extended procedures as part of the statutory audit, acting as advisers to audit committees and assisting in investment analyst research.

Electronic forensic evidence.
88% of fraud cases rely on electronic evidence to prove the case. The uncovering of data via the forensic department means it is now possible to recover hidden, deleted and undamaged data from personal computers, servers and back-up tapes. A forensic image process provides an exact copy of all data on-target computers without amending the underling data in any way.
Capturing critical forensic evidence can provide a compelling litigation case, whether the client would like to prosecute or use it as a bargaining tool to recover finances.
We are always here to discuss any matter informally and confidentially.
The firm's investigation department complements the forensic department that is active in civil cases including Commercial fraud and theft.
Our reports are independent and clear, we pride ourselves that they can be readily understood by non-accountants and assist when giving evidence at trial.
Appleton Richardson is highly professional and can work under time pressures with attention to detail which litigation work demands.
