FORENSIC ACCOUNTING

Talk to our experts

Investigations and disputes are timely, costly, and, unfortunately, you don’t have to be the one to have done something wrong to find yourself in the situation. They pose a huge threat to your reputation, drain your time, and disrupt your life or business.

Whether it’s a personal issue, a commercial fallout, or a regulatory challenge, we can guarantee that our accredited experts have seen it before. From personal, local cases to commercial dispute resolution on a global scale, our team have the experience, expertise and the right tools to support you.

We understand the questions to ask, know our place with respect to the Court, counsel, other experts and our client, and can present our findings to a lay person.

COMMERCIAL DISPUTES

Our decades of experience, wide-ranging sector knowledge, technical ability, attention to detail and communication skills allow us to assist clients in achieving desirable resolutions in a range of commercial disputes. We provide initial advice pre-action, work as party expert, single joint expert or shadow expert in arbitration, mediation or litigation. We also act in expert determinations, acting as determinator or putting together submissions for an expert determination process.

We are happy to assist early on cases, particularly in fast-moving or sensitive circumstances, providing an initial view.

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.
Beatriz Schumann, Karis Property Company Limited
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.
Bruce Ferguson, Hunting PLC
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.
John Bannerman
Everyone involved worked seamlessly together and also with the legal advisors, guiding me through the whole process which was completed within a very tight timeframe. Great job with a result better than I could have hoped for!
Mark Milne, Milmor Properties Ltd

FORENSIC INVESTIGATION, CRIME & CONFISCATION

We undertake forensic investigations, for example, involving suspected fraud or misconduct. Our team have been personally instructed by the Secretary of State to investigate allegedly fraudulent companies under Section 447 of the Companies Act. Other past investigations include bookkeeper frauds, whistleblowing cases and assisting a UK-client with their response to one of the first prosecutions under the Bribery Act.

Our team have worked on a range of criminal matters, acting for the defendant and the prosecution. We work on confiscation proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act, undertaking a review of the Defendant’s finances to assess the benefit made from criminal activity, along with the value of available assets.
