Fraud is an increasingly prevalent risk in business and society at large. The forensic accountancy team at HW has developed particular expertise in fraud, criminal investigations and forensic reconstructions in relation to confiscation orders and asset recovery.

Our forensic accountancy team that specialises in the analysis and reporting of fraud is led by Edward Ross-McNairn. Recent cases involved "white collar" fraud, tax fraud and the theft of funds from major retailers. The team has considerable experience in dealing with confiscation and asset recovery proceedings and has given evidence in cases worth millions of pounds.

We can help with the following aspects:

• Assessment of financial and accounting evidence
• Attending and conducting interviews under PACE
• Interaction of claims and underwriting evidence in insurance fraud
• The preparation of reports
• Attending pre-trial Conferences
• Giving testimony in the Crown Courts
