Our team has in depth local experience in delivering the following services:
Independent business and solvency reviews: These involve undertaking
either high level or in-depth financial and operational reviews of businesses,
typically at the request of lenders, where the business is facing financial
difficulties. The review identifies the key issues facing the struggling business,
identifies options available to the business and the lender, and provides a
recommendation of the way forward for the client.
Turnarounds and alternative exit solutions: We offer advice
and hands-on implementation support to clients on improvements that will assist
a struggling business to overcome its difficulties. Where appropriate, in order
to preserve and maximise value for the stakeholders of the business, we identify
and recommend actions such as sale of all or part of the business, a gradual
wind down and closure.
Insolvency solutions: We offer formal insolvency services
including receiverships and liquidations, to lenders and as advisors to the
Official Liquidator.
Investigations and Forensic Services
Our team has a thorough understanding of the nature and impact of economic
crimes. Our staff are trained in forensic accounting and investigation techniques
and our local knowledge and expertise is supplemented by support from our international
offices as required. Our investigations and forensic services may be grouped
as follows:
Investigations: Include working out what went wrong, quantifying
losses where possible, identifying and securing evidence of wrong doing, using
information technology and up to date techniques to uncover concealed information
and preparing reports, affidavits etc. for use in legal proceedings to recover
assets lost as a result of wrongdoing.
Asset Recovery: We are able to assist our clients to unravel
complex transactions involving the improper transfers of funds and assets leading
to eventual recovery. We also advise on improvements that will minimise the
likelihood of further losses and the identification of potential recoveries
fro others less directly involved e.g. those who have assisted in the laundering
of proceeds.
Prevention Advice: We provide advisory services to help organisations
put preventative measures in place. This typically involves fraud risk management
reviews, which assist clients to make informed decisions on how best to mitigate
exposure to fraud. We also identify, recommend and assist with the implementation
of procedures that reduce the organisation’s exposure to fraud.
