Lawyers are invariably required to review and rely upon financial statements and other accounting records in connection with their cases.   Understanding the fundamental accounting principles and the various accounting cycles is an essential component of unlocking the truth, and revealing the finer points often shrouded in a sizeable mass of evidence. This is particularly true when a case involves an alleged fraud. Under these circumstances, a complex financial analysis in connection with the forensic investigation becomes a certainty.

One of the greatest professional challenges that an individual testifying as an expert witness must face is to successfully navigate a way through a gruelling cross-examination by an experienced litigator.  Expert reports can be complex, as they are often prepared by highly specialized and technical professionals.  The litigator must be able to understand the scope, approach, assumptions and conclusions laid out in the expert’s report, in order to effectively examine and cross examine such witnesses.
