Forensic accounting and expert witness

Expert financial investigation

Brebners' forensic accounting services team has a wealth of financial investigation experience. Our timely input often leads to a resolution without litigation, but if a dispute reaches the courts, we can provide an expert witness to analyse and convey complex financial information on your behalf.

We are experienced in liaising with legal advisers and can act for claimants or defendants; prosecution or defence, including individuals, businesses, liquidators and solicitors.

Our key services

Commercial disputes

Your business may have suffered a financial loss as a result of a breach of warranty, a breach of contract, or a contract dispute, or may have a claim for business interruption. We can provide advice on all financial aspects of a dispute including quantifying the loss and ensuring that your claim stands up to scrutiny.

Personal injury / clinical negligence

You may have suffered a personal injury from a traffic accident or an accident at work. We can help you establish the value of your loss of earnings, pension losses and dependency claims.

Professional negligence

We can express a formal opinion on the standard of care required, and assist in the calculation of losses arising from professional negligence.

Business valuation and partner/shareholder disputes

Partner and shareholder disputes can be extremely detrimental to a business. Disputes can arise from disagreements over the valuation of the business, work-in-progress, lack of dividend payments or tax issues arising from exiting a partnership. Brebners can help resolve these and other situations requiring business valuations.

Fraud and financial investigations

You may suspect fraud or theft within your business or you may yourself have been accused of fraud. Brebners can carry out investigations to establish the facts and bring together the evidence to provide an impartial opinion.

Due diligence

Due diligence is an important part of the sale / acquisition process, helping to reduce risk and facilitate the transaction.
