Forensic Accounting FAQs
Forensic accounting involves examining financial records in detail to provide evidence for legal or regulatory matters. It includes investigating suspected fraud, analysing accounts during disputes, tracing funds, and presenting findings in a clear, evidence‑based way suitable for courts or legal processes.
While auditing focuses on checking whether financial statements are accurate and compliant, forensic accounting goes further by investigating why irregularities occur and determining the financial truth behind disputes or suspicions of wrongdoing. Forensic work is often used in litigation, fraud enquiries, and expert‑witness reporting, rather than routine financial assurance.
You should involve a forensic accountant when a dispute, claim, or investigation requires independent financial analysis, such as commercial disputes, matrimonial matters, personal injury or professional negligence claims, fraud concerns, tax‑related enquiries, or contentious insolvency issues.
Henderson Loggie’s forensic team is instructed across a wide range of civil litigation matters where expert financial evidence is needed.
Yes, forensic accountants do give evidence in court. They are often instructed as expert witnesses to present independent financial findings and explain complex matters clearly to judges and legal teams.
At Henderson Loggie, our team has given expert‑witness evidence in both the Court of Session and the Sheriff Court, providing objective, well‑reasoned analysis to support solicitors, counsel, and the courts in reaching informed decisions.
