Forensic accounting
Forensic accounting investigations
When money is missing, figures do not add up or a financial dispute arises, you need an independent view of what the records show. Our forensic accounting investigations in London examine transactions, accounts and supporting documents to establish the facts. Work is available across the UK, Europe and North America for businesses, law firms and private individuals.
Why work with us
Melpomeni Kalliri is a Forensic Accountant, holding a Master of Forensic Accounting, with North American banking experience and a background within European institutions. Investigations are evidence-led and proportionate: findings are traced to source documents, assumptions are stated clearly, and matters that need legal or other specialist input are identified rather than overstated.
Suspected fraud & theft
- Examine accounting records, bank statements and supporting documents where employee, supplier or partner fraud or misappropriation is suspected.
- Trace the flow of funds and identify unusual transactions, missing documentation and control weaknesses that allowed them to occur.
Financial disputes
- Analyse financial information in shareholder, partnership, contractual and personal disputes, including the assessment of claimed losses.
- Reconstruct transactions or balances where records are incomplete and explain the basis and limitations of each calculation.
Accounts & misstatement
- Review financial statements and management information for inconsistencies, unsupported entries or possible misstatement.
- Identify the questions management, auditors or advisers should put to those responsible for the records.
Findings & next steps
- Receive a clear written report setting out the work performed, the evidence reviewed and the findings it supports.
- Discuss proportionate next steps, including control improvements, recovery options to raise with legal advisers or an expert report.

Common questions
- What do I need to start?
- A short description of the concern, the period involved and the records available. We then agree the questions to answer, the scope of work and a timetable.
- Can findings be used in legal proceedings?
- Investigation findings can inform your legal advisers. Where independent evidence for a court or tribunal is needed, this is prepared as a separate expert report.
