USING FORENSIC ACCOUNTING IN YOUR CRIMINAL DEFENCE

If you are being prosecuted for fraud or white collar crime, it is essential that you, your solicitor and barrister, and ultimately the judge and jury understand the accounting evidence.  Manchester’s forensic accounting team at Kay Johnson Gee has more than 15 years experience of providing forensic accounting as part of the criminal defence for cases including: VAT fraud, theft by employees, false accounting and wrongful trading.  In addition, numerous reports have been prepared in connection with asset confiscation matters brought under POCA.

Our team will look at whether:

• The prosecution accountancy evidence is accurate, complete and consistent with all other evidence
• The prosecution’s case is sound, based on the accountancy evidence
• The accountancy evidence suggests different explanations to the prosecution’s case.
