Our ServicesForensic & Investigative Accounting

Mark Twain once said, "There are two times when you should not speculate - when you can afford it, and when you can't."

The ultimate goal of every forensic engagement is to prepare a meticulous analysis to eliminate the need to speculate. Our team rolls up their sleeves and digs deep to disclose the less obvious. As forensic and investigative accounting experts, we decipher and uncover those transactions and personnel activities that may have intentionally or unintentionally adversely affected an individual, business or organization. The clarity and credibility of our findings provide the required focus and attention to each case.

This process can employ one or more of the following techniques:

  • Review of public records
  • Background investigations
  • Interview knowledgeable parties
  • Analyze physical evidence to identify possible forgery and/or document alterations
  • Surveillance and inspection of business premises
  • Analysis of individual financial transactions or statements
  • Business record reviews to identify fictitious vendors, employees and/or business activities

The role of our forensic and investigative accounting team varies by project, circumstance, and purpose. These matters can include: business transaction investigations, tax investigations, economic crime investigations, terrorist investigations, civil litigation support, and specialized audits.

In divorce cases, attorneys turn to MSG to provide expert forensic and investigative accounting services; these services assist the attorney in identifying: missing assets, transfers of funds, underreporting of sales and income, and search for dissipation of marital assets.
