Forensic · UAE
Investigation and evidence when the numbers are disputed.
Fact-finding that holds up in a boardroom, a regulatory response or a courtroom — discreet, methodical and documented from the first day.
6 capabilities in this practice
Discuss forensicThe problem
A suspicion, and no safe way to test it
The first steps taken after a concern is raised often determine whether anything can be proven. Records get touched, people get asked the wrong question in the wrong order, and evidence that would have been admissible stops being so. The work has to be designed for the forum it may end up in.
Business impact
What it costs to leave alone.
- Evidence lost
- Informal enquiries made early can compromise the material a formal process would have relied on.
- Recovery foreclosed
- Assets move quickly once a subject knows an investigation exists.
- Regulatory and reputational escalation
- A mishandled internal enquiry becomes a second problem alongside the original one.
Our approach
How we work on it.
- Plan for the forum
- Work is scoped from the outset for where it may be used, so evidence and documentation meet that standard.
- Preserve first
- Records and access are secured before anyone is interviewed, not after.
- Findings, not opinions
- Reports set out what the evidence supports and what it does not, clearly separated.
