Matrimonial Disputes & Settlements
The role of the forensic accountant in relation to matrimonial settlements / disputes frequently falls into three distinct categories:
-
Valuation of shareholdings/companies, partnership interests or businesses
-
Advice regarding the extraction of funds or ability of the business to take on borrowings in order to make funds available to assist in the settlement process
-
Advice regarding the taxation consequences of the transfer of assets between spouses
Forensic accountants can be appointed to advise one party only, but are regularly appointed as single joint expert where business interests are involved.
