Internal investigation expert witness candidates typically have backgrounds and expertise in forensic accounting, digital forensics, computer forensics, and business operations. For certain cases, clients may request an expert with credentials as a certified fraud examiner or a certified internal auditor. Cahn Litigation Services is regularly called upon by attorney clients to locate an expert witness that can provide support for internal investigation projects.
A workplace investigation is usually undertaken when wrongdoing, misconduct or ethical lapses are suspected. A fact-finding investigation protects the interests of the company and should be thorough, independent and analytical. Ongoing internal control and auditing practices can play a role in a suspected fraud or investigation, and can assist a workplace investigator with evidence that support (or disprove) the allegations. Human resources personnel and law enforcement can also play supporting roles in an internal investigation.
Litigation support service by an internal investigation expert witness could include a financial reporting investigation, forensic accounting, expert report preparation, expert opinion, and/or courtroom testimony. In high profile cases, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may require an expert with prior expert testimony experience. In addition, clients often seek an experienced internal investigation professional for consulting. When forensic accountants or other specialized investigation professionals are required for an internal investigation, Cahn Litigation Services will hone in on an expert with precisely the rights skills and experience to get the job done.
