Litigation and Forensic Analysis

CPAs have long been critically involved in assisting businesses and business owners in uncovering frauds and embezzlements within their organization.  The experienced CPA is uniquely qualified to ascertain weaknesses in a businesses control environment.  CPAs (and CFEs) that are well suited to this work are those that have been practicing auditors for many years.  Auditors routinely exercise "professional skepticism" in the performance of an audit and in the evaluation of a business internal control environment.  Auditors that identify a fraud frequently find themselves giving testimony to that fact in the often ensuring civil or criminal lawsuit brought by the business against the perpetrator.  CPAs have enjoyed a fine reputation of unbiased and professional demeanor and make good expert witnesses.  Over time, a key role for CPAs has developed in the forensic and litigation fields.

Nothing would be worse than to hire a professional to assist you in a litigated or contested matter and then have that person break down on the witness stand, unable to articulate his or her position. Litigation Advisory and Support Services is a niche to which CLHP is committed.  We have multiple professionals on our staff with substantial experience in litigation matters and in providing expert testimony that are eager to help you resolve any of the following contested matters:

    • Domestic (Divorce, Child Support Modification, etc.)
    • Bankruptcy
    • Valuations
