How we help in a dispute

Disputes exist in all walks of life.  It is generally the domain of legal advisors to assist in reaching the resolution of disputes.  However, it is unlikely without the assistance of expert witnesses.  In financial matters and in quantifying any financial claims, a forensic accountant is essential.

“Forensic” means “in respect of the Court” and most forensic accounting assignments are associated with legal disputes in one of the courts in Australia.

What distinguishes a Forensic Accountant from other Accountants?  Accountants look at figures – Forensic Accountants look behind these figures- there is a great difference. Forensic Accounting uses investigative techniques, business knowledge, accounting, tax and systems knowledge to unravel information for use in Courts and negotiations. 

Forensics Accountants Australia is part of the Ahead For Business Group–a group - established for over 20 years. Forensic Accountants Australia operates in Melbourne, servicing assignments throughout Australia.
