FORENSIC ACCOUNTING
Our Forensic cases are wide ranging in scope but all have one common attribute – our ability to review, assess and interpret large quantities of data. These reviews can be targeted reviews where we are tasked with spotting particular trends or balances or they can be holistic in nature.
Financial Analysis
Need an independent assessment of your trading performance?
Want a benchmark to other businesses in the sector and/or to best practice?
Need financial data to support a transaction or bank funding application?
Trading Whilst Insolvent
Is your business going through a rough patch? As directors, you need to be careful that you don't fall into the trap of trading whilst insolvent.
We can review your business records and help you to prepare cashflow forecasts and budgets.
Business Interruption Claims
Has your business suffered disruption to trading for any reason eg flood, fire, environmental issues, telephone, electric, gas or broadband supplies?
We can help you to calculate loss of profits arising as a direct consequence in order to make the appropriate insurance claim or direct claim to suppliers.
Data Analysis
Something not looking right?
Not sure how to interpret your financial records? Can't understand what is reducing your margins?
We can conduct any bespoke data analysis to help you to interpret your data and we will provide recommendations for any changes needed to your record keeping.
Bank Account Analysis
Need your bank accounts analysing?
Want to see how money has been spent?
Need bank transfers between accounts to be reconciled?
We can perform detailed bank statement analysis and can unpick transfers between accounts to show you how money has come in or left each account. We are often asked to do this to identify unusual items or patterns of activity that might hide issues. Our analysis can also help with cases where the party is trying to demonstrate a normal level of expenditure or in cases involving claims of a "flamboyant" lifestyle.
Nominal Ledger Accounts
If you suspect unusual activity in your accounting records we can perform a thorough review of your ledgers to identify anything untoward or out of place. Our team are skilled at unpicking complex structures or accounting systems as well as spotting warning flags and patterns of activity that might conceal an underlying problem.
Director Loan Accounts
We are often asked to analyse all activity on director loan accounts to identify patterns of spending and/or unauthorised use of company funds.
Complex Group Structures
Our team are experienced in dealing with complex group structures and unwinding and interpreting inter-company transactions.
Our logical and methodical approach allows us to unpick complex arrangements to understand the reality of what is really going on. We can advise on ways to simplify artificially complex structures.
