What is Litigation Support in Forensic Accounting

Litigation support in forensic accounting involves providing independent financial analysis to assist solicitors, counsel, and the courts in resolving disputes. A forensic accountant examines the financial evidence, identifies the key issues, and presents clear, objective findings that help legal teams understand the numbers behind a case.

Unlike standard accounting, where the focus is on reporting, compliance, and historical accuracy, litigation support requires investigative analysis, expert opinion, and the ability to explain complex financial matters in a way that stands up to legal scrutiny. The emphasis is on clarity, independence, and reliability.

Forensic accounting matters in litigation because it brings credibility and objectivity to disputed financial information. Whether the issue involves valuations, loss calculations, irregularities, or contested disclosures, an experienced forensic accountant helps ensure that decisions are made on accurate, defensible evidence.

Forensic Accounting Testimonials

Senior Counsel recommended Christine in a Court of Session action after being on the opposing side in an earlier case.

She very quickly reviewed a large volume of paperwork relating to trust accounting covering a period of 30 years,  produced a report and advised on the quantification of a claim of several million Pounds.

She kept agents and Counsel informed as to progress and clearly explained her findings, with helpful recommendations as to different bases for possible settlement. Her friendly approach throughout made it a pleasure to work with her.

David Wilson, Partner

Ennova Law

Mr Graham was an impressive witness and exhibited all of the requisite qualities of an expert. He was patently careful and maintained the necessary detachment from the interests of the party instructing him.

In the substance and content of his report, and in the manner in which he gave his parole evidence – including the manner in which he answered questions in examination from senior counsel and from the Court – he was at all times giving his independent opinion evidence.

This was always well supported by cogent reasons as to why he differed from the approach or conclusions in the other expert’s report.
