Situations We Handle

Numbers go missing, partners stop trusting each other and claims get challenged. In every one of these situations, opinions settle nothing and records settle everything.

Our forensic accounting services in Canada turn those records into documented, defensible answers. You bring the question, and every finding we return traces back to a transaction or document.

Our Forensic Accounting Services

Fraud Investigation

Our fraud investigation services in Canada start with the transactions, not accusations. We examine entries, approvals, banking records and supporting documents for the period in question. Patterns such as duplicate payments, ghost vendors and altered records are identified and documented. You learn what happened, how it happened and what it cost.

Tracing of Funds

Money that moves through several accounts can still be followed. We trace transfers across bank accounts, related companies and personal accounts. Each step in the chain is supported by a record. The result is a clear map of where the funds went.

Loss and Damage Calculation

Disputes need a number that survives scrutiny. We calculate losses from the underlying records and state every assumption used. Each figure is tied to the schedules and documents behind it. Opposing experts can test our method because the method is written down.

Reconstruction of Missing Records

Investigations often meet missing books. Our backlog accounting service reconstructs records from bank statements, invoices and third party documents. Every rebuilt entry is reconciled before any analysis begins. The investigation then runs on verified books instead of gaps and guesses.

Reports for Lawyers and Courts

Our litigation support accounting work produces reports counsel can actually use. Findings, methods, documents and assumptions are set out step by step. We explain the numbers in plain terms during case preparation. Fraud allegations may engage the Criminal Code of Canada, so documentation standards are treated accordingly.

CRA Dispute Support

A CRA review becomes harder when the records behind a filing are unclear. We reconcile the records in question and prepare documented responses. Every answer we submit is supported by the same evidence standards as our dispute files. You can read how reviews unfold in our guide to the CRA audit process in Canada.

How We Work

  1. Confidential intake

    You describe the concern, the parties and the period involved. Everything you share stays within the engagement team.

  2. Written scope and fee

    We define the questions to answer, the records needed and the fee. You approve the scope in writing before work begins.

  3. Evidence collection

    Records are gathered, logged and preserved in their original form. Every document we rely on is traceable to its source.

  4. Analysis

    Transactions are tested, funds are traced and amounts are quantified. Each finding is tied to the records that support it.

  5. Senior review

    A senior reviews the full file before any conclusion is issued. Findings that cannot be supported do not go in the report.

  6. Reporting

    You receive a written report with findings, methods and exhibits. We remain available to explain the work to counsel or other parties.
