When do you need a forensic accountant in New York?
The forensic accountant in New York can help uncover financial information used to resolve a variety of disputes. A forensic accountant should have an auditing background, plus possess a keen knowledge of financial systems and controls. Gary Kaplan and his team of New York forensic accountants apply investigative and analytical techniques to find the evidence, identify the causes, interpret and quantify the results.
Gary Kaplan meets with every client to understand the important facts, players and issues at hand. Each forensic accounting engagement is designed to satisfy your specific needs to calculate loss, determine the value of assets or detect irregularities.
We provide services in the following areas:
Divorce – There are countless ways a spouse can undervalue, disguise or fail to disclose marital assets. Each spouse is entitled to a legal process known as “discovery” to uncover all financial information. Matrimonial disputes in New York often require the forensic accountant to trace, locate and value accounts, businesses, property or other assets. As your New York forensic accountant, we will conduct a thorough investigation and analysis of all financial information and make sure all marital assets are included for distribution.
Occupational Fraud – The majority of all workplace frauds are committed by workers in one of six departments: accounting, operations, sales, customer service, purchasing and executive/upper management. People with higher levels of authority often cause much larger losses. The increase in anti-fraud controls correlates with a decrease in the cost and duration of occupational fraud. Unfortunately, businesses with fewer than 100 employees often lack formal controls. Gary Kaplan can investigate and document losses sustained as your New York forensic accountant. He can also help you implement controls and procedures to minimize the risk of future occurrence.
Lost Profits / Insurance Claims – Collecting from an insurance company can be a difficult process. Businesses can suffer economic loss due to business interruption, inventory loss, product liability, personal injury and other events. Companies don’t have the analytical tools to accurately quantify losses. They often need professional help to support their claim. Gary Kaplan can apply forensic accounting skills in New York to calculate damages you suffered. Gary and his team of New York forensic accountants can assist in preparing your claim, producing summary and detailed reports and participating in the settlement process.
Construction Claims – Gary Kaplan has extensive experience in claims involving the construction industry. Claims in New York often arise from breach of contract. The contractor may be entitled to compensation due to work delays, accelerations, extra time and materials required or premature contract termination. Our job as your New York forensic accountant is to understand the contract and investigate transactions that support the amount of loss claimed.
Using a forensic accountant early in the process might have a significantly positive impact on your dispute. As your New York forensic accountant, Gary Kaplan brings his accounting skills together with his unique persistence, judgment, discretion and concise communication abilities.
