Our professionals include Chartered Professional Accountants and Certified Fraud Examiners with a combined 35+ years of forensic accounting experience.  We have conducted numerous complex, sensitive investigations involving all manner of fraud allegations, including corporate fraud, investment fraud, procurement fraud, employee theft, corruption, secret commissions, and fraudulent financial reporting.  We have also been called upon to support clients and counsel involved in disputes and litigation, by providing financial analysis, compiling and reviewing evidence, preparing reports and calculations, and providing expert testimony.

When a crisis strikes, emotions often run high, which can lead to irrational responses.  The desire to reach quick answers and to attribute responsibility for the alleged wrongdoing can often impair an organization’s ability to remain objective and disrupt its day-to-day operations.  As an independent forensic accounting firm, nagel + associates approaches investigations with an unbiased and skeptical mindset — emotions are left out of the equation.

We do not just make this statement—we live by it. We focus on building long-term, trusted relationships with our clients. We recognize the importance of regular communication and ensure timely responses to our clients’ queries. Our clients are integrally involved in the development of the scope of work and monitoring the ongoing progress of our engagements. We continuously seek opportunities to improve the quality of service delivered.

When an organization has fallen victim to a fraud, it has invariably suffered a financial loss.  nagel + associates recognizes that an organization’s resources are not unlimited and that a properly planned and executed investigation will usually prevail. In order to manage fees, our clients are kept involved and in control throughout the engagement. We always prioritize cost-benefit considerations before proceeding with any engagement.
