DISPUTES & FORENSICS
Financial clarity for legal strategy.
WSCA supports legal teams when the financial facts must be structured, tested and explained before they become the foundation of a claim, defence, settlement position or expert process.
When legal teams involve us
Early involvement is valuable where the commercial narrative depends on incomplete records, disputed calculations, profit entitlement, commissions, shareholder accounts, project costs or transactions that need to be reconstructed. We help define the financial questions before scope, pleadings, disclosure or expert instructions become fixed.
What WSCA helps answer
- What financial evidence supports, qualifies or challenges the asserted position?
- What is the appropriate accounting basis for loss, entitlement or damages?
- Which records should be preserved, requested, reconciled or tested?
- What assumptions require evidence before they can be relied upon?
- How can financial issues be presented clearly to decision-makers?
Our work with legal teams
Early Financial Case Assessment
We identify the relevant records, key financial issues, working hypotheses and evidential gaps so that legal strategy begins with a defensible financial map.
Accounting Evidence Analysis
We examine ledgers, bank records, contracts, invoices, management accounts, correspondence and other materials in context rather than as isolated documents.
Claim & Damages Quantification
We develop and test calculations for commercial loss, profit entitlement, commissions, shareholder accounts and other disputed financial outcomes.
Expert & Hearing Support
We assist with expert accounting reports, review of opposing financial work, questions for clarification, settlement analysis and preparation for technical financial issues in hearings.
Records commonly examined
Depending on the matter, this may include agreements and amendments, accounting ledgers, audited financial statements, management accounts, bank statements, invoices, payment records, payroll records, board materials, correspondence, project documentation and digital accounting exports.
How we approach the work
Our approach is evidence-led and scoped to the question that actually needs answering. We establish chronology, reconcile records, separate fact from assumption, test the accounting treatment and explain both the conclusion and its limitations. The result is designed to be usable by counsel, clients and decision-makers—not merely technically correct.

Prepare before contacting us
Share the dispute summary, relevant agreements, current procedural stage, key dates, available financial records and the specific financial question that needs to be addressed. If records are incomplete, identify what exists and where the gaps are; that is often the first issue we can help resolve.
