Forensic services

As Middle East economies develop and elevate their position on the global stage, they are placed under greater scrutiny in the drive to achieve increased accountability and transparency. These conditions mean that businesses are facing risk and challenges which they are not accustomed to dealing with, such as the occurrence of fraud, entering into formal disputes such as international arbitration or optimising the delivery of capital investment projects.

Whatever the complexity or urgency of the situation your organisation might face, given this additional scrutiny, PwC’s Forensics Services practice can provide a team of experienced specialists to support and deliver the solutions you need. Our dedicated Forensic Services team based in the Middle East assists clients and their legal counsel on a range of matters both contentious and non-contentious. PwC’s forensic expertise includes construction and capital projects, regulatory inquiries, fraud risk assessment, international arbitration, general commercial disputes and commercial investigations of both a financial and non-financial nature.
