FAQs

We’ve put together a selection of questions that people ask about Forensic Accounting:

What does a forensic accountant do?

A forensic accountant investigates, analyses and interprets financial information so that it can be used as evidence in disputes, investigations and legal proceedings. At TC Group, our Forensic Accounting and Investigation team quantifies financial losses, values businesses, traces assets and prepares clear, independent reports for solicitors, barristers, businesses, individuals and the courts.

When should I instruct a forensic accountant?

It is usually best to involve a forensic accountant as early as possible, ideally when a claim, dispute or investigation is first being assessed. Early input helps solicitors understand the financial issues, identify what evidence is needed, and make informed decisions on strategy and settlement before significant costs are incurred.

How is financial loss calculated in a personal injury or clinical negligence claim?

We prepare a report that draws together the financial aspects of the claim, including loss of earnings, future income projections, pension loss, care and support costs, and equipment and accommodation claims. Where relevant, we also calculate Periodical Payment Orders. Our analysis takes account of evidence from other experts so the court has a complete picture of the claimant’s losses.

How can a forensic accountant help with a Proceeds of Crime or confiscation case?

We support solicitors acting for defendants by assessing the chain of financial evidence and investigating and appraising Confiscation and Compensation Orders made under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA). We also advise on civil recovery proceedings and tax assessments raised under proceeds of crime legislation.

How much does forensic accounting support cost?

The cost depends on the nature and complexity of the matter, the volume of financial evidence and the work required, such as a report, expert evidence or ongoing litigation support. Contact our team to discuss your case, and we will talk through the scope of work and fees with you.
