Forensic accounting

Out-of-court accounting expertise is a report prepared by an authorised expert accountant at the request of a company or an individual, outside any court proceedings. The expert examines the supporting documents, the accounting records and the financial statements and answers, in an expert report, the questions (objectives) agreed with the client.

It is useful whenever you need an independent, well-founded opinion: to clarify amounts or settlements with a partner, shareholder, client or supplier, to check an accounting or tax position, before a transaction or a negotiation, or to prepare your documentation for a possible dispute.

The work is performed under art. 6 letter d) of Government Ordinance no. 65/1994 and the regulations of CECCAR (the Romanian Body of Expert and Licensed Accountants).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between court-ordered and out-of-court expertise?
Both are performed by a chartered accountant. Court-ordered expertise is ordered by the judicial bodies, while out-of-court expertise is requested directly by the individual or company concerned (art. 6(d) of Government Ordinance no. 65/1994). For out-of-court expertise, the objectives are agreed with the client.

Who can carry out accounting expertise?
Financial and accounting expertise, including expertise with a tax component, is carried out by authorised chartered accountants, as individual professionals or as chartered accountancy firms (art. 6(d) of Government Ordinance no. 65/1994).

What documents are needed?
It depends on the objectives. Usually: the contracts and invoices in question, bank statements, trial balances and account ledgers, the accounting registers and, where relevant, the correspondence between the parties. We give you the exact list once the objectives are set.
