• Prepare legal reports, participate in legal conferences with lawyers and their clients and act as an expert witness.

Who we're looking for
These functions cannot be divided. Every individual forensic accountant needs to be able to perform all of them. Forensic accountants thus require the following personal qualities:

• Intellectual curiosity.
• Ability to spot the unusual, and tenacity to discover the cause.
• Willingness to look at detail, without missing or losing the 'big picture'.
• Readiness to accept that everything one does will be challenged.
• Confidence to handle confrontation, pressure and deadlines.

Candidates should be exam qualified with up to 4 years post-qualification experience, as ACA, ACCA or CIMA, and already have forensic/investigative/claim calculation experience. Languages and/or proven expertise in a relevant related field such as share valuation, IP or matrimonial disputes or expertise would be an advantage.

First and foremost forensic accountants must have the mindset of an investigator. They need an accounting qualification because their investigations are in the financial arena.
