While all forensic accountants are trained in accounting, not all CPAs specialize in forensic work. Forensic accountants apply investigative skills to uncover and explain financial irregularities in a legal context. Their work is focused on litigation, fraud, and complex financial disputes — not audits or tax prep.

Red flags include unexplained account variances, missing documentation, rapid lifestyle changes, excessive transactions in cash, duplicate payments, and override of internal controls. We can help identify and investigate these indicators.

Yes, in many cases. Veritas maintains independence and objectivity throughout the engagement. However, attorneys should consider whether using the same expert for both roles may impact privilege or strategy. We’re happy to consult on how best to structure the engagement.

We approach every case independently and rely strictly on the facts and documentation provided. Our findings are not tailored to support one side — they are guided by professional standards and built to withstand courtroom scrutiny.

Look for relevant certifications such as Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) or specialized degrees in forensic accounting. Equally important are litigation experience, communication skills, and the ability to present findings credibly under oath.

Veritas supports civil, criminal, and family law matters involving complex financial issues. These include commercial damages, fraud allegations, marital asset disputes, insolvency-related matters, and financial misconduct investigations.

Audits are designed to express an opinion on financial statements’ fairness, often for shareholders or regulators. Forensic accounting focuses on identifying, analyzing, and explaining specific financial issues related to disputes, fraud, or litigation.

Yes. We regularly create timelines, charts, financial summaries, and visual aids tailored to courtroom use. All visuals are designed to enhance juror understanding while meeting evidentiary requirements.
