About

Provided by BRG

Corporate financial scandals and economic crises continue to challenge corporations and their boards, as the schemes to defraud them become more complex and insider threats grow. BRG professionals are well versed at reconstructing financial records; conducting information- and admission-seeking interviews; enterprise-wide complex data modeling and analysis; and designing, implementing, and remediating internal-control environments, computer forensics, and electronic data retrieval.

Composed of former Big Four partners, Certified Fraud Examiners, Certified Public Accountants, internal auditors, and former prosecutors, BRG’s forensic accounting teams translate complex financial transactions and numerical data into terms that laypersons can understand and interpret in a legal setting. Our experts use their understanding of industry, finance, accounting, economics, technology, and data management to review financial reporting information, information systems, and accounting and auditing standards and procedures. They leverage eDiscovery, data analysis and evidence gathering, vetted investigative techniques, and hypothesis testing to assist clients to determine the who, what, when, where, why, and how of an alleged illegal or fraudulent activity.

Our experts have experience in evaluating the financial and operational records of global organizations across industries and have worked with regulators and provided expert evidence and testimony in many jurisdictions.
