What to Gather Before a Broward County Forensic Accounting Engagement Begins
A stronger Broward County forensic accounting engagement starts with the right records, a clear dispute question, and a realistic litigation timeline.
Before retaining a forensic accountant, parties and their counsel are best served by assembling available financial records. Useful materials typically include: federal and state tax returns for at least three to five years, business financial statements and bank account records, payroll records and compensation agreements, corporate formation and governance documents, prior appraisals or valuations, and any existing financial agreements between co-owners or spouses.
Not all records need to be available at the outset. Part of the forensic process involves identifying what is missing and pursuing appropriate discovery. However, early organization of available materials helps define the scope of work and allows the engagement to proceed efficiently.
