Disputes & Forensics
Test the accounting analysis behind the opposing position.
WSCA reviews opposing expert accounting work to identify the assumptions, evidence, calculations and reporting choices that may affect its reliability or relevance to the issues in dispute.
When a review is relevant
A review is useful when an opposing report introduces financial conclusions that need to be understood quickly, challenged fairly, or incorporated into litigation, settlement or hearing strategy.
Questions we help address
Are the instructions understood correctly? Are the records sufficient? Are calculations consistent with the evidence? Which assumptions drive the result?
Materials typically examined
The opposing report, appendices and schedules, disclosed records, pleadings, contracts, correspondence and relevant accounting policies.
Our approach
We trace the report’s reasoning from instructions to evidence, test calculations and accounting treatment, compare stated assumptions with source records, and identify points that require clarification or a reasoned alternative analysis.
What you receive
- A structured review of material observations
- Clear questions for the opposing expert or legal team
- Analysis of assumptions, limitations and calculation issues
- Support for rebuttal, settlement or hearing preparation
Common complications
Reports can appear conclusive while relying on a narrow data set, mixed periods, unverified management information or assumptions that are not separately disclosed. A focused review helps isolate what is actually in issue.
What to prepare
Share the report in full, its appendices, available source records, the pleaded issues and the practical deadline for review.
