Forensics
“The use of science and technology to investigate and establish facts in criminal or civil courts of law.”
The professionals at Veris have particularly relevant specialized expertise in accounting, financial reporting, internal controls and economic damages analyses. The nature of some of the expert services we have provided include:
- investigation of highly publicized corporate financial reporting matters such as Enron
- finite reinsurance investigations
- analysis of some of the largest insolvencies in U.S. history
- investigations of financial reporting and internal control of failed financial institutions on behalf of federal and state regulators
- fraud investigations including complex Ponzi type schemes
- comprehensive measurements of economic damages
We are active in the accounting standard-setting process, with leadership on the committees that have been the source of authoritative guidance on many major accounting and financial reporting issues.
Veris has been engaged on behalf of regulators and as adverse to regulators, on behalf of parties asserting claims against outside professionals and on behalf of defendant outside professionals.
Veris has been engaged in connection with several of the largest corporate failures in U.S. history.
We have consulted with and testified on behalf of the United States Department of Justice, as well as on behalf of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have also been engaged by several state regulators in connection with their oversight and investigation of several major failed insurance companies.
For expertise specific to accounting, financial reporting and internal controls, Veris has no peer. Our references will confirm that.
