Professional Negligence

These investigations are approached from two perspectives:

  • Technical
    Has a breach of generally accepted accounting principles or generally accepted auditing standards or other standards of practice occurred? Professional negligence claims may also require expert evidence as to the commercial reality of advice given.
  • Loss Quantification
    If the professional in question is an accountant, tax advisor, investment adviser, business valuer, auditor, director or management consultant, we are often involved with both perspectives. If the matter involves other professions (for example a medical practitioner), we will normally be retained to perform a loss quantification only.
