Unravelling Fraud & Financial Crime

The ability to ‘follow the money’ and to understand it’s use is integral to defence in tax investigations, fraud and financial crime, especially money laundering and confiscation proceedings where legal advice is essential at the earliest possible stage.

Forensic accounting, where personal and business finances are investigated to reveal financial discrepancies and hidden assets, is usually for the purposes of court proceedings, criminal and civil.

It is an essential element in cases of commercial litigation, business valuations and insolvency.   Raymond Ashton has been involved in many criminal and civil affairs where Raymond’s early forensic accountancy methods and experience has served him well in supporting the investigations to best protect and defend his clients.

Supporting Takeovers & Mergers

Likewise, in cases of business takeovers and mergers, when business valuation requirement reach a critical stage for the benefit of exiting a business, forensic accounting skills are essential to identify true values and successful outcomes.    Commercial dispute resolution needs expert understanding and assessment and Raymond’s expertise and support of clients in these areas is well known.
