Description:

We conduct financial investigations and forensic data analyses on behalf of lawyers, businesses, shareholders, and investors. Some types of assignments include:

  • Investment Analysis: These investigations aim to assist investors in analyzing decisions made by the management of companies they hold or are considering investing in.
  • Fundamental Analysis: For listed companies, we perform fundamental analyses that allow (potential) shareholders to assess the underlying value of a stock and anticipate future price movements.
  • Judicial Investigations: In a legal context, we conduct investigations to (i) search for financial evidence (e.g., corruption, money laundering, terrorist financing, embezzlement, etc.), (ii) support collective proceedings (to prove mismanagement or justify the extension of liability), and (iii) gather elements for quantifying damages.
  • Economic Investigations: We carry out numerous ad-hoc economic studies (for example: comparison of commercial performance across different establishments, analysis of competitive impacts).
  • Contractual Audits: We operate wordlwide to conduct independent audits tailored to the requests of public or private clients (such as audits of subsidiaries, infrastructures, etc) in any context.
