FIGURING OUT FORENSIC ACCOUNTANCY



It is no secret that the world of accountancy is often linked to the words ‘dull and boring’. Forensic accountancy however, whilst admittedly slightly less interesting than ‘CSI-style’ investigations, is an unusual, yet important service in today’s society.

The forensic accountancy team at Haines Watts in Exeter comprises qualified Chartered Accountants accredited by the Academy of Experts with considerable experience in undertaking a wide range of forensic accounting, expert witness and dispute resolution engagements.

You never know when you might need a forensic accountant, but if you do Haines Watts are the local experts. “Many people are not aware forensic accountants exist or fully understand the service we provide. We may assist in any situation where a financial discrepancy has arisen, or where there is a need for the application of specialist numerical or analytical skills.” says Caroline Thomas, head of forensic accountancy in the Exeter Haines Watts office.



Divorce:
Consider a relationship breakdown where there is a need to untangle the family finances, including identification of tax implications on property transactions. This is particularly important where separation occurs later in a marriage and accumulated wealth is significant or when a family business or valuable property is involved.

Personal injury:
Haines Watts can help in the assessment of loss in PI cases, particularly involving self-employed individuals or where injury is catastrophic resulting in severe physical injury, mental disability or death.


Fraud and misconduct:
The team can also assist a business where there is suspicion of fraud and can offer a review of the veracity of internal controls to prevent future irregularities.
