Our approach
At RSM Farrell Grant Sparks, we provide our forensic accounting expertise to produce reliable reports on complex matters. We focus on the core issues and quickly identify the most relevant information. We establish the facts, and then present a clear, concise report on relevant financial matters such as losses incurred, expected future losses, and taxation consequences.
We also provide professional expert witness services and advice as required in commercial and other disputes.
Our emphasis is on a collaborative team approach. Our multi-disciplinary teams bring a wide range of professional expertise, including experts in audit, assurance, taxation, insolvency, pensions, corporate finance and property.
Litigation support
RSM Farrell Grant Sparks has considerable experience in providing litigation and expert witness support in commercial, banking, insurance and other court cases.
The successful resolution of legal disputes by businesses, public sector bodies and individuals often requires and benefits from the involvement of professional accountants with strong financial, accounting and taxation skills. Our expertise and support in commercial disputes and investigations not only highlights the key financial and commercial issues, but also maximises the chances of a successful resolution of the dispute.
Not all disputes go to court, but we are always conscious that an investigation or dispute may end up there. We therefore produce a clear and concise report which anticipates likely scrutiny by advisers for the “other side”.
The combination of our forensic accounting skills and our experience in collaborating with legal advisers enhances the chances of a successful conclusion to the legal process for recovery of assets or compensation.
