“Financial forensics is the application of financial principles and theories to facts or hypotheses at issue in a legal dispute and consists of two primary functions:
Litigation advisory services, which recognizes the role of the financial forensic professional as an expert or consultant
Investigative services, which makes use of the financial forensic professional’s skills and may or may not lead to courtroom testimony.
Financial forensics is the intersection of financial principles and the law and therefore, applies the (1) technical skills of accounting, auditing, finance, quantitative methods and certain areas of the law and research; (2) investigative skills for the collection, analysis, and evaluation of evidentiary matter; and (3) critical thinking to interpret the results of an investigation.“
