Expert determinations

Our forensic accounting team provides expert determinations

Whether seeking an expert determination as a form of alternative dispute resolution, or entering into the process as a means of bringing a dispute to a binding resolution, selecting the right expert determiner is critical.

At Moore Kingston Smith, we understand the importance of this process to the parties involved. In each case, we make sure we clearly set out the steps to be followed, and that these are in line with the relevant contractual provisions and protocols. What we bring to this is not only our experience of dealing with other expert determinations but also our wider experience and expertise in dispute resolution. This means we can understand all parties’ perspectives and can consider the matter in dispute in the context of the hundreds of forensic accounting cases we have undertaken over the years.

Once we have carefully considered all of the documentation and representations, we make our determination and (if instructed to do so) provide clear reasons and explanations for doing so. We also assist individual parties, where we are not instructed as the expert determiner, in making their representations, to ensure they receive the fairest possible result.

We have acted in cases where a binding determination has already been made but one or more parties consider there to be a manifest error, in which case the determination can be overturned. We have assisted parties in such circumstances in obtaining a revised determination to their benefit. All of our expert determiners are on the panel for the ICAEW’s President’s Appointment Scheme.
