Forensic accounting and litigation support
Personal and criminal injury cases
There is a good chance that at some point in your business or personal life you will find yourself involved in a legal dispute over money. In such cases we can work with your solicitor to study and interpret the facts of the case in a professional manner.
If there is a need to pursue litigation, we can:
- Provide the necessary information and documentation to support your case
- Produce valuations in support of a claim
- Act as an expert witness in court
These services can considerably strengthen your case and cut your litigation costs.

Fraud investigation
Dealing with fraud and financial investigations requires more than technical know-how. It requires speed, sensitivity and discretion. Finegan Gibson understands the importance of reacting quickly and confidentially to a crisis.

We can assist you in the following ways:
- Quickly establishing what went wrong and developing a cost effective solution
- Collecting and securing vital evidence
- Obtaining information that the fraudster hoped to hide
- Conducting interviews with witnesses and suspects
- Identifying control weaknesses
- Investigating the quantum of the loss, including unforeseen losses
- Reconstructing damaged or incomplete accounting records
