Our missions and benefitsOur accountancy firms offer you a clear operating procedure
Litigation - Expertise and assistance
These interventions require a thorough knowledge of current business lines and organizations, as well as of the specific features of the legal world. It is also essential that the customer, the financial consultant and the lawyer cooperate actively from the outset of an incident, or even from the moment they become aware of the risk of litigation. Proof management is essential.
- Strong involvement of the expert partner.
- A legal-accounting "pivot" helps manage the assignments, while experienced managers contribute to in-depth technical analyses.
- The ability to carry out flash-audits on short notice, focusing on significant subjects.
- Long-standing involvement in expert appraisals, pre-litigation assistance or during the expert appraisal or discovery phases.
Fraud - Investigation and prevention
The risks of fraud are on the increase, with the accentuation of decentralized organizations and the globalization of steering and management systems. The fraud risk prevention is part of a compliance approach, in line with the continuity of audit missions but with a particular focus on the risks of bypassing processes.
We identify potential problem areas in the organization through :
- Our cross-disciplinary and complementary expertise by division.
- Our expertise in organizations and information systems.
- Our mastery of the quest for information.
- In addition, we have proven expertise in providing assistance in setting up or auditing risk management and fraud prevention systems (in conjunction with our knowledge of American and Canadian practices in the field of forensic accounting and fraud examination).
