Criminal proceedings for breach of trust, fraud or insolvency offences
Analysis of accounts, payment flows and company data to establish the course of events and the extent of the damage.
Service 01
Expert reports that hold up.
Court-certified, sworn expert witnesses for criminal, civil and commercial proceedings — focused on economic crime, insolvency offences, corporate governance and IT security incidents.
An expert report has to pass two tests: the technical one and the one in court.
An expert report is only as good as its traceability. Our experts document every step — from the underlying data and methodology to the conclusion — so that the court, the opposing party and the client can verify the result.
Because tax advisors, lawyers, forensic specialists and software engineers work together at CIN, we combine economic, legal and technical questions in a single report — instead of having several experts work side by side.
