Putting a number to an accidental lost limb or on racial discrimination or deciding the overall value of a dead man’s assets is difficult, but for forensic economists and forensic accountants, it’s daily work.
What do forensic economists and accountants do?
Examples of their work include:
The calculation of due damages in a legal dispute.
Liability analysis and fraud protection.
Policy analysis and asset evaluation.
Establishing timelines of financial activity.
Working on cases like bankruptcies, insurance claims, divorces and more.
