  • We are a small business and have been using AAB services for over 17 years. We have been well looked after, and although a small company, we sense a genuine interest from AAB to support the business with their services to reach its highest potential.

  • They are always “on it”, sending me reminders or calling me to discuss forthcoming tax liabilities. Their approach to completion of tax returns is first class, they don’t just process the numbers, but look behind the scenes.

  • I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending AAB to anyone else who, like us, may be struggling to get the expert advice required, especially when it involves coming back to the UK and managing tax aspects on overseas income and assets.

FORENSIC ACCOUNTING

Evidence provided by a forensic accountant can be vital in settling a dispute involving financial crime. Our litigation support team members are experienced in working through records and transactions, whether physical or online, to reveal instances of fraud, theft, deception and bribery. Their determination often uncovers information that has been thoroughly concealed and would otherwise have escaped detection.

They will assemble all their findings in a format that will be compelling and admissible in court. If required, they can also attend court proceedings to provide expert testimony. Our forensic investigation services include:

  • Financial crime and fraud investigation
  • Proceeds of crime reporting
  • Code of Practice 9 (COP 9) investigations
  • Asset tracking and investigations
  • Accounting misstatement reviews

INSOLVENCY

When a criminal or negligent act results in a business insolvency, it has serious consequences for all the innocent parties involved, such as customers, suppliers and employees. We can investigate the insolvent company to discover if there is evidence of wrongdoing such as assets that have been expropriated or used improperly, liabilities that have been concealed or fraud that has destabilised the company’s finances.

Our experts’ experience in dealing with insolvencies means they know where to look for evidence, whilst their knowledge of litigation support ensures that evidence is compiled effectively. We can support you if you are involved in litigation concerning:

  • Wrongful trading assessments and investigations
  • Insolvency investigations
  • Director fiduciary duties and conduct reviews

Our team has extensive experience working with lawyers on these matters, and their investigations and analysis will provide accurate, indisputable evidence and expert opinions that will stand up in court. We can support you and your legal team in areas such as:

  • Share, partnership and business valuations
  • Matrimonial and family disputes
