Matrimonial Disputes
The role of the Forensic Accountant is to identify all the assets and liabilities held by both parties, whether solely or jointly, and provide a valuation of business assets and deal with all tax issues in order to facilitate a financial settlement.
Key issues include:
- Identification of hidden or undisclosed assets
- Identify evidence of dissipation of business interests to frustrate the other party’s claim to the matrimonial settlement
- Valuation of business interests
- Dealing with taxation implications of selling business interests and/or property interests to fund the settlement
- Advising on how the settlement should be financed
- Assessing impact of inherited assets brought to the marriage
We have the relevant expertise built up over many years to assist in divorce actions and provide an independent opinion on the financial status of both parties, ensuring that all matters have been dealt with fairly and completely.
