Theft – Do you have concerns about whether your company has lost money to employee theft, misappropriation of funds, or fraud? Forensic accounting will uncover the facts.

Dissolution of partnership – Fair and accurate representation of the financial position of the business is necessary in order to divide assets, price a buy-out, or distribute compensation appropriately.
