Disputes & Forensics
Expert accounting reports that make complex financial evidence usable.
WSCA helps legal teams, businesses and decision-makers translate accounting records, commercial arrangements and disputed calculations into a clear, professionally structured expert accounting report.
When an expert accounting report is needed
An independent accounting analysis may be needed when the financial position is disputed, records require reconstruction, or a court, tribunal, legal team or negotiating party needs a reasoned explanation of the accounting evidence.
Questions we help address
What do the records establish? Which calculations are supportable? Where do the parties’ accounts differ? What assumptions need to be tested?
Records typically examined
Ledgers, bank records, contracts, invoices, payroll data, correspondence, management accounts and supporting schedules.
Our approach
We define the scope with the instructing party, organise the available evidence, test accounting treatment and calculations, identify limitations, and present findings in a logical report that distinguishes evidence, assumptions and professional analysis.
What you receive
- A clearly scoped accounting expert report
- Schedules supporting key calculations
- Identification of records relied upon and material limitations
- Practical clarification for legal strategy, negotiation or hearing preparation
Common complications
Incomplete books, inconsistent reporting periods, undocumented arrangements and untested assumptions can affect reliability. Addressing these issues early improves the usefulness of the analysis.
What to prepare
Provide the pleadings or issue summary, relevant contracts, financial records, prior expert material and the key questions you need the analysis to answer.
