Expert evidence and litigation support services
We have many years of experience of preparing expert reports and of giving expert evidence in the UK’s civil and criminal courts. Matters on which we give expert opinions include:
• accounting treatments designed to conceal wrongdoing;
• financial reporting under IFRS and UK GAAP;
• the appropriateness of accounting policies;
• revenue recognition;
• the meaning of realised profits;
• solvency and going concern;
• the quantification of losses, and
• the valuation of shareholdings and businesses.
In addition to giving expert evidence, we also prepare factual reports on financial matters such as the tracing of misappropriated assets and the manner in which their proceeds had been laundered.
Financial and regulatory investigations
We have considerable experience of performing investigations in the regulatory, civil and criminal arenas. We investigate suspicions of:
• non-compliant conduct by regulated persons and businesses;
• bribery and corruption;
• false accounting and fraudulent trading;
• market abuse and insider dealing;
• money laundering; and
• asset misappropriations.
Ballamy LLP has been appointed by the Financial Conduct Authority to its Forensic Accounting Framework as one of a small number of specialists to assist the FCA’s Enforcement Division in conducting investigations into suspected misconduct and compliance failures.
