Common questions
What does a forensic accountant do?
Investigates financial records for fraud, embezzlement or misstatement, quantifies economic damages, and produces findings that stand up in a legal proceeding — often testifying as an expert witness.
How much does a forensic accountant cost?
Typically $300 to $600 an hour, and engagements are scoped rather than fixed-fee because the work expands with what the records turn up. Expert testimony is usually billed at a separate, higher rate.
When do I need a forensic accountant instead of an auditor?
An audit gives an opinion on whether statements are fairly presented. A forensic engagement starts from a suspicion of a specific problem — theft, a partnership dispute, a divorce, an insurance claim — and investigates it.
