Answers from Forensic Accounting Experts

With decades of experience in forensic accounting, financial investigations, and litigation support, we’re here to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about our work and expertise.

What is forensic accounting?

Forensic accounting is the use of accounting skills and investigative experience to examine fraud, reconstruct financial activity, and search for missing assets—often for use in litigation or criminal proceedings. It is most often utilized when there is an actual or anticipated dispute or litigation involving a business.

Forensic accountants don’t just look at the numbers—they detect and interpret irregularities introduced into financial records and provide expert reports to support legal cases.

When should you hire a forensic accountant?

A forensic accountant should be hired when there is suspected fraud, embezzlement, or financial misconduct, or when a legal dispute requires clear financial analysis. Early involvement can help preserve evidence, reduce financial losses, and strengthen litigation strategies.

Christian was patient and easy to understand. clear, concise and thorough. he spoke “plain” English and was respectful. he did not “rush” and he responded to every question i had, in a timely manner. no matter how “dumb” it may have seemed. for example, i received some paperwork by mail and i did not understand it. i emailed him about it and he cleared it up that day. thats great customer service!
