Financial Reporting Expert Witnesses

Financial reporting expert witnesses may be asked to provide an expert opinion regarding business financial records. Financial reporting expert consulting may provide insight into such areas as accounting, valuation, international accounting, securities, hedge fund strategies, fraud examination, auditing, clinical accounting, and any other area involved with financial matters, as each of these issues may be highly relevant in the event of a lawsuit because of the importance of accurate financial reporting.

Financial reporting expert witnesses may be asked to conduct a fraud examination of a financial report as a means of determining whether financial fraud has been intentionally committed, as doing so would be grounds for potential litigation. Such experts are therefore often experienced as both certified public accountants (CPAs) and certified fraud examiners, making them ideal for cases involving financial fraud.

Financial reporting expert witnesses may also be experienced with budgetary forecasting, earnings loss, economic damages, business valuation, lost profits, bankruptcy, accounting malpractice, pensions, taxation, mergers and acquisitions, international trade, appraisal, asset management and allocation, securities and investments, equity investment, stocks, options, and other financial issues. Financial investigations resulting from fraud detection often refer to records regarding financial reporting, which can serve as a major indicator of any wrongdoing involving accounting and economic practices.
