Accounting Liability Disputes

We assist auditors who are subject to litigation when the adequacy of their audits on a corporation’s financial statements are subject to scrutiny. This has included the review of audit procedures and a determination as to whether or not an audit complied with Generally Accepted Accounting Procedures and Generally Accepted Audit Standards.

CRA experts have consulted on many large financial and accounting investigations. We work closely with the in-house or external counsel of companies in conducting accounting investigations involving, amongst others, corporate fraud, manipulation of financial information, and profit diversion by directors, employees, or joint-venture parties.

CRA can provide in-house or external counsel with a detailed understanding of the accounting case, and perhaps more importantly, we can carry out analyses that put it into context. Our clear, concise, and independent analyses of financial information are backed up by robust report writing and cross-examination skills. We have extensive testimonial experience and can communicate complex issues in a manner that non-specialists (including clients, regulators, judges, and juries) will understand.
