At times you may require an independent accountant to provide valuation services, quantify loses, or investigate financial crime. We at Akram & Co., have partnered with a local firm of Forensic Accountants to provide a range of forensic accounting and valuation services to our clients, in relation to Criminal Defence, Matrimonial, Commercial Disputes, Tax, Personal Litigation and Investigations.

Our approach to the quantification of economic damages and financial analysis is based on an integration of accounting, economics and finance principles. We bring business pragmatism and objective, independent analysis to clients on every assignment. We have a depth of sector-specific knowledge across a wide range of industries, having spent extensive amounts of time in the field gathering information first-hand and examining the environment and contextual setting of each engagement.

Our professionals possess the certifications and real-world expertise that provide the ability to examine each assignment from a unique perspective. In every engagement, we identify the relevant issues, isolate key business metrics, evaluate their financial impact and deliver a full financial picture that creates clarity in complex situations. We provide comprehensive forensic accounting, corporate finance, fraud investigation, valuation, expert witness and forensic technology services, going beyond the numbers to deliver financial transparency in legal cases and insurance claims.

We have cultivated an accomplished and talented workforce and continually invest in training and development for our team to ensure our clients receive industry-leading service.

Legal disputes over money are an unfortunate fact of life in both the business world and in our private lives. The financial information involved may appear to create what seems to be an impenetrable maze. That’s where the specialist forensic accounting skills of the partners of Akram & Co. can be crucial.

Our team will use their accountancy and investigative skills to examine the issues involved, looking beyond the numbers to establish the reality of the situation. Then we’ll provide clear, concise analysis suitable for presentation in court. Whether the issue is a matrimonial or commercial dispute or an insurance, personal injury or professional negligence claim, we can help.

Akram & Co. offers forensic accounting expertise in various specialist areas. We work both with prosecutors seeking to examine the defendant’s financial affairs, in order to calculate the sum to be sought in a confiscation order, and with defendants disputing prosecution estimates of the degree to which they have benefited financially.

We help to quantify loss or financial exposure across all industry sectors and jurisdictions. We support our clients and their legal advisers in all stages of the dispute process. Our partners provide a range of investigative, asset-tracing and asset recovery services. We will help you to establish liability, trace misappropriated assets and mitigate the impact of financial and economic crime. When investigating fraud or suspected wrong-doing, accounting “black holes”, regulatory breaches, employee misconduct and other financial crime, we assemble multi-disciplinary teams tailored to successfully completing your engagement.

To minimise the chances of you suffering a recurrence, our risk specialists develop and implement tailored fraud and corruption prevention measures aimed at protecting your businesses against the threat of financial crime.

Our partners regularly conduct large scale, complex financial investigations for the UK’s leading law enforcement, prosecution, and regulatory agencies, as well as for major law firms, banks, international corporations and foreign governments.
