Actual matters · anonymised professional work
Financial questions tested against the underlying records.
Selected WSCA engagements showing how disputed balances, profit entitlement, expert calculations and inventory exceptions were examined through the evidence rather than accepted at face value.
Confidentiality: Client and counterparty names, identifying details and certain commercial information have been removed or generalised where appropriate. The purpose is to show the financial question, evidence and analytical method—not to disclose the parties.
Find the closest issue
Start with the financial question behind the matter.
These examples span disputes, forensic reconstruction, expert-report review and audit exceptions. Use the categories below to move from a real matter to the relevant WSCA expertise.
Cross-border trade dispute
When a USD 3 Million Trade Relationship Came Down to One Outstanding Balance
45 invoices · approx. USD 570k outstanding
Financial question: Could the remaining balance be independently reconstructed across invoices, payments, credits and different corporate references?
Evidence and work: invoice populations, statements of account, payments, credits, customer references, shipping and commercial documentation were reconciled transaction by transaction.
Profit entitlement & cost allocation
When Profit Was Not Just the Number on the P&L
2021–2024 · eight-figure financial analysis
Financial question: Which profit base, costs, rewards and accounting adjustments belonged in the entitlement calculation?
Evidence and work: the analysis reconstructed the relevant profit base over multiple years and tested how cost allocation and accounting adjustments affected the claimed entitlement.
Expert-report review
When the Expert Report Became Part of the Financial Dispute
Multi-million-dirham financial exposure
Financial question: Did the calculations, payments, assumptions and methodology in the accounting expert work remain supported by the underlying records?
Evidence and work: calculations and source records were tested together so that arithmetic, assumptions and accounting treatment could be separated and reviewed.
Inventory audit & exception analysis
When the Stock Count Did Not End With “Found” or “Missing”
674 items verified · 164 exceptions classified
Financial question: What kind of exception existed when physical stock and records did not agree—and which differences required different follow-up?
Evidence and work: physical and documentary verification separated matched stock from shortages, excess quantities and items not found, with materiality considered in the classification.
What these matters illustrate
The conclusion is only as useful as the path back to the evidence.
A headline balance or profit number is tested against the transactions and records that produced it.
Calculations become more useful when source evidence, accounting treatment and assumptions are visible and distinguishable.
Different financial exceptions can require different legal, accounting, operational or control responses.
