Neutral Services
Disputes over accounting issues often arise between parties whether in the context of an acquisition, shareholder buyout or other business transaction.
Forensic accountants are frequently called upon to provide support and to serve as the neutral accountant in resolving these issues.
Baker Tilly’s global forensics team is frequently called upon to serve as the neutral accountant pursuant to the terms of acquisition agreements, shareholders’ agreements and court orders.
We are able to leverage the expertise of our team in accounting, audit, forensic accounting, valuation and litigation support services to evaluate the underlying financial transactions and documentation in a dispute, and to clearly communicate that information to the relevant parties, including triers of fact.

- Court-appointed accountant
